One steering technology - countless fields of application

Mechanical steering has changed continuously over a long period of time. It dominated the look and feel of the interior and traditional driving. But now a change is taking place. Modern steer-by-wire systems are ready for highly and fully automated driving. Space Drive from Schaeffler Paravan is a digital steering system for series production vehicles, prototypes, test vehicles, agricultural machinery or unmanned ground vehicles. The application possibilities are diverse.
