Optical sensors analyze hand position and pose to resolve the contradiction between measurement precision and device complexity in autonomous steering systems.
A steering column assembly uses a ball and pocket system to transition between coupled and decoupled states for the driver interface.
Hollowed-out portions in the decorative member accommodate steering wheel deformation during impact, preventing stress concentration and crack formation.
Segmented steering wheel cover uses local quality stitching to maintain seam strength while providing incision gaps for inserts spanning multiple parts.
Magnetorheological fluid adjusts steering wheel control resistance to resolve the trade-off between ease of operation and device complexity.
Segmenting the bush assembly with a dedicated guide bush reduces resonance during low RPM idling while maintaining telescopic force.
A stowable operator station features a deployable seat and steering wheel mount that transitions between internal storage and external operation positions.
