Imagine a car where the steering wheel is completely gone, but the car can still steer itself even if a part of the system breaks. Instead of a mechanical link, it uses a smart electronic system that doesn't have a single point of failure. It's like having a backup brain and muscles for steering that kick in instantly to keep everyone safe.
Current steering actuators are not mature enough to guarantee fail-operational capability, which prevents the deployment of fully driverless vehicles without steering wheels.
A patented, ground-up steer-by-wire system that eliminates single point failure modes to ensure steering functionality during system faults.
If you are an autonomous fleet operator dealing with the risk of system failures in driverless cars — this project developed a fail-operational steer-by-wire system that ensures steering functionality even during a fault. This allows for the removal of the steering wheel and increases vehicle utilization.
If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with legacy steering hardware that limits cabin design — this project developed a ground-up steer-by-wire system. This enables the creation of fully autonomous vehicles without the constraints of old production facilities.
If you are a trucking company dealing with safety concerns in long-haul autonomous freight — this project developed a patented system that eliminates single point failure modes. This ensures the continued operation and safety of the vehicle and other road users.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the system is designed to avoid the high costs associated with legacy global production facilities.
The project aims to go to market in two years to meet the roadmaps of leading autonomous mobility developers, utilizing a design that avoids the constraints of obsolete mass-manufacturing plants.
The project utilizes a patented system that eliminates single point failure modes common in offerings from established steering suppliers.
It is a ground-up designed steer-by-wire system intended to replace traditional mechanical steering, specifically for highly automated and fully autonomous vehicles.
The company is seeking support to finalize the technology and enter the market within two years.
The project is led by a single Swedish SME, Chassis Autonomy SBA AB. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the project is lean and focused entirely on commercial application and disruptive market entry rather than academic research.
