In this interview, Alexej comments on the latest advancements in sensor technology and their integration to enhance haptic feedback in steer-bywire systems. Alexej highlights the evolving requirements in sensing elements due to technological shifts like SbW and electrification, emphasising the importance of reduced acoustic noise, higher sensitivity, and smoother mechanical sensor behaviours. He introduces GEN5, Hella's new sensor generation, designed to address these requirements and elevate the overall steering experience for both steering system suppliers and OEMs.

Ahead of the Automotive Steering Systems Europe 2023 conference, Automotive IQ spoke with Kristof Polmans, the Senior Vice President of Research & Advanced Engineering at thyssenkrupp Presta AG, to discuss the seamless integration of chassis control systems. Kristof shares insights into the safety requirements and challenges associated with integrated chassis control systems, shedding light on the crucial aspects of redundancy, optimal design, degradation strategies, and industry-wide challenges. With his expertise, he explores the delicate balance between cost, complexity, and safety in these advanced systems, along with thyssenkrupp Presta AG’s pioneering contributions to the development of safety norms, modular research platforms, and innovative approaches to enhancing vehicle reliability and safety.

With steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire still dominating the steering and braking space, Automotive IQ hosted a series of interviews with by-wire experts in the industry from huge organisations, including Continental, General Motors, thyssenkrupp Presta AG and Nexteer. All 4 exclusive interviews have been collated together in this technical guide. 

Automotive IQ has hosted both Advanced Steering and Braking conferences in Europe and the USA, and this November both conferences return to Munich at the H4 Hotel München Messe, 14th - 16th November, 2023.
