Schaeffler is developing key components for steer-by-wire systems, such as road wheel actuators.
Advantages
- Ready for automated driving
- Improved safety through decoupling of driver and coordination with other vehicle systems
- Realization of new vehicle dynamic functions by software, e.g. variable gear ratio
- Decoupling and rejection of disturbance from the road
- Packaging and standardization (e.g. left- and right-hand drive) benefits leading to cost saving by the OEM
