Portuguese term or phrase: alavanca que opera por pulsos
This is taken from a brochure advertising a manufacturer's new grader. This section describes switching from automatic to manual transmission. I have never heard of this concept of "alavanca que opera por pulsos" - does anyone know how it translates into English?

Caso o operador prefira, ele pode selecionar o comando da transmissão para o modo manual através de um interruptor no console lateral. Nesse caso, a seleção de marchas é feita por meio de uma alavanca que opera por pulsos, sem utilização de canaletas para marcha ou sentido. A operação é muito simples e a máquina obedece aos comandos do operador.

Drive-by-wire,
DbW, by-wire, or x-by-wire technology in the automotive industry replaces the traditional mechanical control systems with electronic control systems using electromechanical actuators and human-machine interfaces such as pedal and steering feel emulators. Hence, the traditional components such as the steering column, intermediate shafts, pumps, hoses, belts, coolers and vacuum servos and master cylinders are eliminated from the vehicle. Examples include electronic throttle control and brake-by-wire.

Steer by wire

This is currently used in electric forklifts and stockpickers and some tractors.[1] Its implementation in road vehicles is limited by concerns over reliability although it has been demonstrated in several concept vehicles such as ThyssenKrupp Presta Steering's Mercedes-Benz Unimog, General Motors' Hy-wire and Sequel and the Mazda Ryuga. A rear wheel SbW system by Delphi called Quadrasteer is used on some pickup trucks but has had limited commercial success.
