The company is now preparing a second facelift and Mercedes has confirmed the model will embrace steer-by-wire technology as well as a yoke steering wheel.
Why do we need steer by wire again?
I don’t know, I’m just waiting for Bluetooth steering.
Less cost probably
You don’t but it can help with packaging since you don’t need a shaft from the rack to the wheel (which is on different sides depending on region). It also means you can have different steering ratios for different situations. You can have a fast ratio while parking and a slow one on the highway. If you have automated driving, the wheel doesn’t need to turn when the car turns. Although I think all cars with any kind of autonomous driving still turn the wheel.
It also means you can have different steering ratios for different situations.
We solved that problem 20 years ago with variable steering ratios.
So you can steer it with a ps4 controller?
Mercedes went on to say road vibrations transmitted through the steering wheel are eliminated
How is that a good thing? Don’t purple usually want feedback from the road? If a force acts on my wheels, shouldn’t I feel it in the steering wheel to know what is going on with my car?
consumers ignored the anonymous, electric blob.
It’s not in my price range and I don’t need a car right now, so I guess I’m not the person to salvage their sales numbers, but am I really the only one who likes the design of the eqs and the eqe?
Nobody wants this. Will also be illegal in China.
