Space Drive - Key Technology for autonomous driving

The first road-legal digital steering system

Vehicle steering will change completely in the coming years. The next generation of vehicles will hit the road without a mechanical steering column. Instead, the steering of the future will be digital - by wire! With Space Drive, Schaeffler Paravan offers the only road-approved steer-by-wire system in the world. Space Drive makes the mechanical connection between steering wheel and steering gear superfluous. Next Generation Steering!

The evolution of a system

Space Drive is evolving. From the current system to the key technology for the mobility of the future. The data from the race track and the road flow directly into the development process, are processed and adapted.

SPACE DRIVE 2.8

Space Drive is an absolutely reliable drive-by-wire technology. It is road-legal and offers an incredible treasure trove of data from over 1 billion kilometres driven on the road. This is what we are building the digital steering of the future on.

Ready for serial production

The next generation of the Space Drive "by-wire" driving and steering system - Space Drive 3 AddOn - marks the entry into series production and is an important key technology for autonomous driving.

SPACE DRIVE 3 ADDON

In addition, the technology is an important interface for data transmission with regard to a for maximum active safety. Since 2018, Schaeffler Paravan has been developing the next generation of the innovative steering system and is thus taking the next step: Space Drive 3 AddOn stands for the entry into series production. It is intended to comply with the standards and norms of the automotive industry and support the homologation of new vehicles to be developed.
