2021: Announcement of steering system for unmanned vehicles
On October 11, 2021, Hyundai Mobis announced the development of Steer by Wire (SBW) folding steering system technology, which allows you to fold and unfold the steering wheel. This technology draws attention to the fact that it is innovative and optimal for future vehicles, since it can provide more space in the driver's seat.
The Hyundai Mobis folding steering system has a steering wheel that can move both forward and backward, but up to 25 cm. Technology development has been carried out since the beginning of 2019, the long development time is due to the fact that this is a completely new technology that has never been commercialized in the world market.
To develop this system, Hyundai Mobis developed new main parts of the steering system, including a column and a reaction force control device, and also used a sliding guide mechanism that ensures the durability and reliability of the system. The system allowed the use of various designs, including the type of storage, in which the steering wheel can be removed to the dashboard, as well as a folding version.
 | Hyundai Mobis is not limited to simply rethinking existing technologies, but is developing part technologies that are applied to cars of the future in completely new ways. We will continue to develop future-oriented innovations based on our know-how in the field of basic technologies, "says Jang-don Choi, managing director of the chassis/security division of Hyundai Mobis. |  |
The new folding steering system is also perfectly compatible with the Steer by Wire (SBW) steering system, an electronic digital car control system. The SBW system controls steering by means of electrical signals, connecting the steering wheel to a device designed to transmit the force generated by the steering wheel to the wheels. The SBW system provides optimal steering performance in various driving conditions and minimizes vibrations that occur when driving along the breakband or irregularities at high speed, which allows the driver to drive the car comfortably and stably. In addition, the redundancy design of some major electronic parts, such as sensors and systems, ensures that the vehicle is capable of maintaining normal steering in an emergency.[1]
