Abstract

The present invention relates to a steering input system (200) for a vehicle (100), comprising: a steering input device (202) configured to provide a steering motion input to the vehicle; and a set of actuators (206, 210, 216), the actuator assembly is configured to translate the steering input device from the drive position to the retracted position through a combined actuation action.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a steering input system for a vehicle and to a vehicle comprising such a steering input system. Background technique [0002] Future fully autonomous vehicles will likely be used to transport one or several occupants over longer journeys—replacing trains and airplanes to some extent. In this and other circumstances, it is possible that passengers wish to spend their travel time relaxing or working. [0003] However, although a fully autonomous vehicle will primarily drive without human intervention, there may still be situations where it may be necessary for a human driver to take control of the vehicle. Thus, the vehicle may have two modes, a fully autonomous mode and a manual mode. [0004] In manual mode, it is important that the driver has easy access to the steering wheel of the vehicle in order to be able to operate the vehicle safely. Thus, the steering wheel must be positioned in a convenient position relativ...
