By GlobalDataEPS uses an electric motor to assist driver steering. Nexteer’s EPS hardware and software are developed concurrently and work together to connect the driver with the road – taking into account driving dynamics and the operating environment.
This ‘connection to the road’ provides the driver with an experience consistent with the vehicle’s brand (such as luxury, sport), while also giving important safety cues regarding road surface (such as ice, gravel).
