What does the Throttle Positioning Sensor do, and secondly, what does the Drive By Wire throttle body look like as well as what are the pro's and con's of DBW vs Cable Driven?

The throttle by wire tb's have no cable hookup or throttle arm on them at all; they have a round cylindrical motor that opens and closes the blade.
