driving or running vehicle with no Power Steering fluid at all will dry up your pump shaft bearings and pump gears and destroy your pump.; but in an emergency if fluid loss has only just happened ie burst pipe ect there should be enough residual oil remaining on internal components to get you to a safe port to rectify fault. low fluid will cause scavenging a growling sound which will be first noticable on full lock or when assistance is required top up asap sort out leak asap.

Can you still drive your car if rack and pinion is leaking Is disconnecting the belt from the power steering pump an option Do rack and pinion leakages end in complete loss of steering?
Yes, the vehicle is still driveable, assuming total fluid loss from the leak isn't instant. No, disconnecting the belt is not an option, it will just make it really hard to steer and will still leak. If the entire system is drained of fluid then yes, total loss of steering is possible, though unlikely, as long as the fluid reservoir is never allowed to empty. That said, repair should be made sooner than later. The leaking oil is not very enviro-friendly and you will either spend money on fluid now and the repair later or you will spend money on the repair now and not on fluid at all. Do the math.
Does electric power steering still use hydraulic fluid?
It depends on the system. Some do,some don't.
