Nexteer's Electric Power Steering
Electric Power Steering (EPS) uses an electric motor to assist driver steering. Nexteer's EPS [https://www.nexteer.com/electric-power-steering/ ] hardware and software are developed concurrently and work together to connect the driver with the road - taking into account driving dynamics and the operating environment. This "connection to the road" provides the driver with an experience consistent with the vehicle's brand (such as luxury, sport, etc.), while also giving important safety cues regarding road surface (such as icy, gravel, etc.). Nexteer's EPS also enables Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) [https://www.nexteer.com/a-d-a-s-automated-driving/ ] features, such as lane keeping, park assist, active return to center, traffic jam assist and more. For drivers of tomorrow, Nexteer's EPS systems share the same building blocks needed for future semi-automated and automated driving experiences.
