The trick behind this new system is steer-by-wire tech. Here's what that means.
Cars have steered much the same way for just over 100 years, but recently both Tesla and Lexus have decided to reinvent the steering wheel: The auto companies have swapped the wheel out for a simplified steering yoke. Reactions to the change have been polarizing, with some Tesla fans preferring the new look, and others declaring it significantly worse than a wheel.
Unlike the decades-old system it replaces—a direct shaft between the steering wheel and the rack, which transfers the driver’s inputs to the wheels—steer-by-wire completely removes that physical, mechanical connection. A steer-by-wire system interprets the driver’s steering maneuvers as a digital signal. That signal is sent to an electric motor on the steering box, adjusting the steering angle of the front end of the car.
The Lexus system, dubbed One Motion Grip, will increase or decrease the steering ratio continually as the vehicle’s speed changes. The steering will adjust to be quicker at slow speeds like when in parking lots, allowing for larger steering angles with delicate, small inputs at the yoke. At highway speeds, however, the steering becomes much more muted, to maintain stability and keep the car from being too darty.
