Key Points: 
  • TOKYO, Oct 20, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Hitachi Astemo, Ltd. has developed a prototype of a new steer-by-wire steering device that eliminates the conventional steering wheel and expands the cabin space.
  • In anticipation of automated driving, Hitachi Astemo is leveraging the collective strength of the Hitachi Group in developing steer-by-wire technology.
  • With steer-by-wire systems, the lack of a mechanical link enables the downsizing of steering devices to increase cabin space and eliminate the conventional steering wheel altogether.
  • A smaller steering device, however, can result in the vehicle's steering being overly sensitive to driver inputs.
