I just don’t understand how steer by wire even works. We need car youtubers to explain what the feature does and how it compares to traditional rack and pinion steering.
-
Normal R&P: You have your steering wheel that’s connected to a gear that pushes a bar with interlocking teeth from one side to the other to create the steering force.
SBW: Your steering wheel has a sensor and fedback motor that tell the board computer your input, that computer translates it to a singal to a motor that turns the front wheels a corresponding ammount to your input. The wheels alao have sensors that measure the forces the wheels “feel”, sends that to the board computer which translates them to a feedback signal for the motor in the steering wheel so you have (almost) the same feel as with R&P sterring. -
Have you found that vid yet because im sure after you left this comment you did some research and looked it up
-
Rather than being physically connected to the steering rack (so traditionally you’re literally turning the wheels and feel the road) steer by wire is like a racing simulator steering wheel; it is wired to a control unit that tells motors on the steering rack to turn the wheels. This way you can have different ratios and apparently a smoother response but idk as you just have a motor in the steering wheel as feedback and rely on the computer link and motors.

I don’t understand how you don’t understand how it works! In the drive-by-wire system, the steering wheel acts as an electronically controlled transmitter sending the desired current through a wiring harness to a small electric motor or series of motors to a rack-and- pinion system in which are roughly connected to the wheels used to turn the vehicle either right and left. The reason for the drive-by-wires system is used in this case is because of freeing up weight and space within a certain compartment. There are redundancies within this system as well so it should be a safer alternative over conventional shaft driving systems.

Just Google it. How lazy people can be to beg others to explain it for them.

Youtube is doing good job with bot accounts lol

I think it’s crazy not to have mechanical redundancy. Your life is in the hands of software and an electric motor to steer, which can also fail.
-
Technology is only here until it fails us
-
A modern ICE car is now operated by software from the ecu from engine spark and crank to the throttle body. Great to tune on, but it can also crap out on people as well. Kinda why I’m looking for any good old-school carb motors so I can get the more mechanical and analog feel of driving.
-
Don’t you fly on modern planes? All controls are by wire for 20+ years. No mechanical fallback.
-
-
Yep! Can’t wait to get my Foundation Series AWD soon 🙂 @CyberTruckedYT
-
do u trust airplanes? they have the same system called fly by wire
-
But how can you apply the same thing to two that are so different? A car isn’t controlling flaps and tail rutters. Apples to oranges
-
@@mandelaturner2287Sure, but there’s still the same problem of no physical connection from the controls to the controlled elements. It’s pretty much the same concept with the same results in case of a system failure.

@@Donnerwampno it’s very different. A plane moves in the air, a car moves with contact to the ground. If you have flown a fly by wire and a analog(cables) plane you would notice how much difference there is. Since you will probably never fly a plane you can test this yourself with a flight simulator like DCS (not microsoftflysim). A fly by wire may be “easier” if you are a complete noob since it doesn’t let you pass the limits of the plane BUT if you have any kind of experience you will be limited, the plane will NOT do what YOU want, you don’t fly a fly by wire, it flies you; the f16 can get into a irrecoverable deep stall, most of the time it will enter said stall because of the FBW system, then that same system will prevent the pilot from any chance of recovery because it will NOT respond to the imputs and will do what IT wants and deems appropriate(which in that case will be the worst absolute thing)
With a “analog” plane you can push the limits to whatever you are comfortable with, you may damage the plane, yourself or both but the plane will do whatever you want it to do, even if it means ripping it’s wings away.Now for a car this can result in the same control issues PLUS the fact you will never get the vibrations you get from a direct connection to the road. You can’t FEEL the traction.

@@antoniohagopian213 What? That’s exactly the same with cars that use steer by wire, the car decides what steering input will be translated into wheel movement, the fact that you are on the ground doesn’t change the basic concept that there’s a computer between your input device and the executing part you want to manipulate. SBW functions like a simracing wheel where you have a sensor in the steering wheel that translates your input into a signal that the computer translates into a sterring angle for the wheels. Only additional element I can imagine is a feedback system in the car that’s not in this form in the plane (but I can be wrong about that, you’re completely right that Icnever flew a plane).

airplane pilots are qualified professionals

-
Never!
-
Music sounds like midnight club dub edition
-
No and I wouldn’t like to have it either because it doesn’t give a feel of the car
-
I wouldnt bc i can’t afford it. We are not the same
-
-
Dude…i don’t even trust Tesla 😂😂
-
If you think the Tesla’s reliability history, you would never go to Tesla’s steer by wire vehicle…
-
We’re not in 2013 anymore
-
-
I trust my steering wheel directly connected to steering shaft going directly to steering box even if the power steering pump breaks or I lose power to the car I can still steer.
-
As an engineer – 100% NO
-
then youre not a good engineer,…
-
-
Steer by wire in general? Maybe.
Tesla? Hell no!!!
Space Karen himself? You gotta be kidding me. -
I can’t even begin to imagine how terrible that must feel to drive with
-
One simple word. No
-
Nope. Maybe if it still had warranty, but if I was looking as a 2nd or 3rd buyer. I’d be concerned. Electric or hydraulic power steering goes out the steering just gets heavy. But it is still possible to control the vehicle. Having not physical control or the steering isn’t as bad as say brake by wire, but it’s going to be an issue I think.
-
Steer by Wire is nothing revolutionary, however nothing beats the reliability of a classic hydraulic steering system.
The Tesla already experiences software glitches now and then, can you imagine that happening to the drive by wire system?
Lexus has also implemented this, though they are reliable vehicles their software has always been hot garbage.
I could bet money on a recall on this system coming through for any EV manufacturers that uses this system
-
Absolutely not. This is a potential hazard.
I really hate fact that car companies are having numerous mechanical controls be put behind software and electronics. The problem is that is if something electrical fails, then that control cannot be manually accessed in an emergency.
And some companies aren’t even offering emergency controls in some cars.
Examples being: E-brake, Door handles, Gear selector and now the literal steering connection itself.

Dude I don’t trust my prostate and you want to trust a wire. No way Jose!
-
I wouldn’t trust a Tesla, not to mention anything Tesla makes…
