BMW Active Steering: Enhancing Control and Handling

The video discusses advancements in power-assisted steering systems, focusing on BMW's active steering technology. This system uses a combination of conventional steering gear, a planetary gear, and an electric motor to adjust the steering ratio based on vehicle speed. It enhances handling and stability by providing a more direct steering ratio at low speeds and a less direct ratio at high speeds. The system integrates with BMW's Dynamic Stability Control to maintain vehicle control during sudden maneuvers or adverse conditions. Despite its advanced features, the mechanical linkage ensures drivers receive direct feedback.
