Provided is a system and method for interfacing with physical input mechanisms of a vehicle and electrically controlling signals from the physical input mechanisms to a computer of the vehicle. Examples of such physical input mechanisms include a gas pedal, a brake pedal, a turn signal stalk, a button, and the like. In one example, the method may include receiving, via a first interface, a request to actuate a component of a vehicle that is controlled by a physical input mechanism, generating, via a processor, a control signal that corresponds to an actuation signal from the physical input mechanism, and transmitting, via a second interface, the generated control signal to a control unit of the vehicle for actuating the component of the vehicle.
