steer-by-wire' is launched by Nissan. What is that stuff?
This is not the first time the technology we've ever known. Last year, Audi also apply these technologies in the A2 concept car. The difference is that Nissan technology was first used in mass production vehicles.
NISSAN announced plans to equip some Infiniti models with a system that has the ability to electronically control the steering wheel and no longer adhere to the conventional mechanical models.
The technology referred to by Nissan as the 'steer-by-wire' will be implemented on a mass-production car brand Infiniti homemade given. Nissan promised a year, we could see the car that carries the technology.
By using this new technology, inputs made by the rider via the steering wheel the car will be sent to an electronic engine control unit ordered an actuator to drive the front wheels fit the wheel movement.
Future models will also be equipped with a spare clutch that is designed to connect the steering wheel to the wheels mechanically when problems arise. This is very important so that the vehicle can still be controlled while electronic system error.
The system also interacts with the road surface to provide feedback to the driver. It is very important for the driver so he would not lose 'feeling' because they can sense movement through steering wheel in his hand.
