- Mercedes-Benz says that he will launch the wiring address in 2026
- Your fully electric EQS hall will be the first production model with technology
- Technology requires driver adaptation and is initially not easy for gel.
The idea of eliminating the mechanical connection between the direction and the front wheels of your car is enough to have someone with an appearance of knowledge of knowledge of a cloud of skepticism.
After all, leaving the very important issue of changing lane and navigating the fast field lanes to a computer could be full of all kinds of technical problems. So much so, Infiniti added a column of mechanical direction of support to its model Q50 Steer-by-wire when it was launched in 2014. You already know, just in case.
But the times are changing and a growing number of manufacturers now see technology as vital for the development of tomorrow’s vehicles, particularly those that have already rejected many mechanical pieces for battery packages and electric motors.
Mercedes-Benz is possibly one of the most high profile manufacturers in advocating the use of the cable address, recently stating that its updated EQS All-Electric Hall will be the first production model to show off technology next year.
The fastest entry response time, the reduced physical effort of the driver and an almost complete elimination of unpleasant vibrations of rough surfaces are just some reasons why the German brand says it is resorting to computers for steering tasks.
In addition to this, he says that the new design of the yoke controller releases the knee space and makes it much easier to climb and exit the car. Ah, and Mercedes also feels that the steering wheel will be less important as their cars continue on the way forward, higher levels of automation.
Tesla added a direction yoke to its model 3 and others in selected regions, but those vehicles did not present the cable steering system that was then introduced to Cybertruck.
Some owners of the S, X and 3 model responded and said that the direction of the yoke hindered the rotation of the wheel enough in complicated parking maneuvers, while the rotation signal buttons mounted in the yoke could become complicated when operating when crossing a roundabout, for example.
After trying it myself in a US model 3, I was not convinced. It was impossible to move the position of the hand, making it uncomfortable to use on longer units, and tied me with knots trying to reverse the parking lot in a bay.
However, cable address effectively denies the need to rotate the wheel more than a few degrees to achieve a complete block. The system can recognize low speed parking situations and automatically accelerate the address response, as it does in the huge Cybertruck.
The updated lexus RZ will be one of the first global cars to receive a cable management system that also comes with a yoke instead of a traditional round wheel.
The Japanese company says it is configured with a rotation of ‘blocking to block’ of around 200 degrees, which means much less turn the wheels when turning.
Reinventing the wheel
Mercedes-Benz believes that its wire management technology, regardless of whether it is divisive, will have a great impact on driver’s comfort.
“In combination with future and highly automated driving systems, the driver could have a new and more relaxed long -term position,” the company said by revealing its latest technology.
In addition, it allows views without obstacles to the impressive information and entertainment matrix of the brand of the brand that recently announced in the next Cla. Mercedes is even going to mention that the yoke could double as a peripheral games when the owner is parked or loading.
Despite the clear benefits, the wire address will require driver adaptation: it is not easy to gelify immediately.
But with Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and Tesla now offer technology, it is very likely that a greater number of future models will begin to play with it, particularly those that continue to drive the autonomous driving agenda.
