Steer-by-Wire 10 Minute Breakdown

Register or log in to access our webinar recording

Get to know a hands-on demo and reference design that replaces the steering column with electronics. In this 10-minute breakdown, two engineers walk you through a live steer-by-wire demo, cutting through the complexity to show you exactly how this technology works — and why it matters beyond just steering.

Steer-by-wire eliminates the traditional mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the road wheels. Instead of a steering column, the steering wheel actuator's sensors capture driver intent and send it electronically to the road wheel actuator, and vice versa, providing road condition feedback to the driver. The result is a smarter, more adaptable system — with no physical link required.

 

But this is more than a steering story. The demo featured in this video is built on a reference design that scales across chassis applications, from electromechanical braking to active suspension. The demo software environment is also fully tunable, giving you the ability to adapt and fine-tune parameters to match specific motor configurations and steering feel/ratio requirements.

By watching this webinar, you'll take away key insights on:

  • Understand how steer-by-wire actually works — from driver input to wheel movement, including how sensors, actuators, and software replace the steering column
  • See it in action — follow two engineers as they demonstrate a working system and explain the technology in real terms
  • Learn how variable steering ratios improve both safety and comfort — and how the system adapts behavior from low-speed maneuvering to highway driving
  • Discover how road feel is simulated — and why customizable steering feedback is key to driver confidence
  • Get the essentials on safety and redundancy — including how dual data paths and redundant power supplies keep the system reliable and road-ready
