Description

"Electric power steering (EPS) is going to be a standard fitment across all platforms in the near future. There are supplementary functions currently under development, which would exploit the benefits offered by EPS in order to provide added safety to the driver. The vast data collected by the installed sensors and cameras would aid in improving the assistance provided to the driver in various situations, such as lane departure and cross-winds compensation. At the same time, the operational limit of EPS is being stretched beyond 13 kN to incorporate heavy passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and pickups. Simultaneously, technologies such as ultra-low-cost column EPS cater to the emerging markets in need of a cheaper alternative."
