I believe mechanical parts will be always in there, since this is a safety component, e.g,. in the case electronic fails, you still have one shot to steer the car and avoid an acident.
@jean-naymar6022 жыл бұрын
Mordern cars already have reached the point where they entirely rely on electronics to function. In fact, if your car was built in the last 30 years, it wouldn't even start and/or run if the electronic failed. There's no reson to believe that electronic component are inherently less reliable than mechanical parts.

@@jean-naymar602 I heard the same often that there would be cars without mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the wheels. But after a quick Google i read everywhere that such cars don’t exist. Any car on the road has a mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the wheels. And i wouldn’t see a reason to skip such mechanical linkage; The safety factor in being able to steer is most important of anything. Lives depend on it. You can drive for an hour with a stuck throttle, maybe even an hour without brakes, but 30 seconds without steering is definitely a crash. And in electronics there are Way more linkages to make something work which can fail, than just having a steel rod doing the job.

Ha, all these comments. I like the skepticism. Perfectly natural. People had doubts about hydraulic power steering. What if the seals blow out? What if the column shears? What if orifices block off? What if the applied force rips off tie rods? What happens to working fluid viscosity throughout its operational life? How well will the fluid tolerate winter and summer temperatures? Why should we expend the gas to power any of it when you could get a nice upper body workout everytime you drive? Why not just use bigger steering wheels? Why should I rely on a high speed pump constantly wearing itself down to eventual failure? Why not gear it in and increase number of wheel turns to up mechanical advantage? Why rely on flimsy steering rod connections? Why drive at all when you could ride a horse? Why ride a horse when you have two perfectly good legs? Recurring complaint seems to be electronic failure. Buddy systems make anyone feel better? Drivers are GOING to be removed from the drivers seat. Semi-Truck driving jobs will be the first major vocational economic casualty of driverless cars.

I like the way they make it sound like cars were hard to drive without Power steering;; my first 6 cars didn't have it and they were no harder to drive than the Granada my brother let me have a go of which did. For the record I also drove a 3 ton (yes they were 3 ton Unladen back then not 7.5 Tonne Gross) truck which also had no power steering and was an absolute pleasure to drive. My current car has power steering but it seems to go a lot further; in that it gets tighter at speed when it isn't really needed; and becomes very light at parking speeds.

@JoeIsCrazyWillman8 жыл бұрын
1000% agree! My wife's new Kia is electric power steering and brake assist, as are most new cars, and I can't stand it! The steering wheel feel changes with road speed (virtually 0 resistance at idle/crawl speeds, very stiff at highway speeds... just make it the same at all speeds! ugh!). The brakes I hate more! Press a little and they do very little. Press a little more and you about smack your face into the steering wheel (particularly when under 15mph)! Also, braking of the vehicle changes as you slow down and the transmission downshifts. Even tho you keep your foot at the same place on the brake pedal, your rate of deceleration changes all over the place, especially in the Sport modes!!! I find that not only annoying but dangerous! In stop & go traffic, my rental Jeep Cherokee was all over the place on braking rate in sport mode! First I'd be slowing too slow, then the tranny would shift and I'd have my head snap forward, and then it would release & I'd be braking too slow again! Way too easy cause accidents like that!!! Make it all THE SAME, like old vehicles, where braking speed doesn't change unless you change your pedal position!

as long as you utilize discreet circuitry and basic computing rather than complex computers that can have bugs and crash, then the reliability just comes down to your power source. hydraulic power steering only works if your engine runs, which is ostensibly much quicker to fail than a battery which, as long as it's charged, won't suffer mechanical failure. engines and pumps can all together have thousands of moving parts. a battery and computer have 0, and an electric motor drive will have maybe a dozen. All in all, the most-impervious-to-mechanical-failure option is a legit manual rack and pinion. but pinning electronic against hydraulic, you could make the argument any day that electronic is actually more reliable.

Regarding full electric steering ("steer by wire"), I don't think electric systems are inherently less reliable than mechanical ones. I think if it is built well, an electric system can actually last far longer than a mechanical one. A properly designed electric system can be simpler, lighter and have fewer moving parts. The problem is that manufacturers today seem to have a preference for building extremely low quality electronics. I think the reason is that with electronics, it is harder to tell the difference between quality and junk. Since the average consumer can't tell the difference, companies cut as many corners as possible to increase their profits. Also, there is a tendency to include flashy, unnecessary gimmicks to make a product more marketable. All of these so-called "extra features" just increase the complexity of the system and create more potential failure points.
@ahobimo7327 жыл бұрын
I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not sure if I feel the same way. I guess it depends on how much you trust the vehicle's maker to build something that won't "break" unexpectedly. Manual backup is undoubtedly safer, but the question is, how safe do you want to be? The absolute safest form of transportation would probably be just walking, but hardly anyone insists on that level of safety. Most people prefer to drive because they feel that the benefits of driving outweigh its safety risks. The same principle applies to electronic vehicle controls. Some people will feel the benefits outweigh the risks, others won't. As for me, I'd have to consider the overall context before I could decide.

+beating2 I agree. I think it is foolish to assume that a corporation is anything like a real person. It is really a machine designed to generate profit for its shareholders. That is a corporation's only function, and the only goal it can pursue. Thankfully, there are situations where it's profitable for a corporation to act in the best interests of its customers. Toyota, for example, makes vehicles that are generally very mechanically reliable. They have a reputation for lasting a long time and requiring relatively few repairs. This reputation has made Toyota very successful, and allowed it to generate a lot of profit. So we can trust that the company wants to maintain its reputation by continuing to make reliable vehicles. This is good for consumers, but Toyota's motivation is nonetheless purely selfish.

Electronics and particularly electric motors are prone to breaking. Most mass produced cars would have cheap systems for steering which probably wont last 1/4 of what a traditional hydraulic system would last. My 90s car has less sensors monitoring the whole car than an EPAS (EPOS more like it) system has monitoring the steering. If one small thing on one of these epas systems breaks, you need the whole system replaced costing $$$$s. Save $500 over 10 years? lol, yeah right. And that doesn't take into account that they are unsafe, if you lose power, any of the sensors or the motor cooks itself when you're driving or if you require quick input to avoid an obstacle - look up hyudai i30 moose test.

I was about to purchase the new Accord until I found out Honda no longer makes the standard automatic transmission gearbox (4 cyl) and hydraulics power assisted steering like on the older Accord models. No EPAS and CVT for me :)

Didn't the Toyota Prius have some software issue that locked up the electric steering? I remember a few cases where someone was turning right, but it got stuck because the software crashed or something.

Mouse Mystery To me it isn't about the feel. The sole purpose of the handbrake/e-brake is when ALL else fails. With a classic e-brake, it doesn't matter if your brake line broke, if the battery is dead, or if the car is even on - it just works. Some could argue that it's just for parking, but automatics don't need an e-brake for parking. But whether you're driving stick or if you're on a steep hill, how does an electronic e-brake know how much force to apply? For safety reasons, I'll always avoid cars where brakes and steering are 100% electronic.

My electronic power steering now became a 'PAWIS' steering (sweating behind the wheel or back to mechanical mode). How do we fix this? A friend told me to check the motor and replace the carbon brush, is this true? Help anyone...

Aircrafts fly by wire a long long time ago and nobody says anything. If current aircrafts don't do that way the extreme weight would be so ridiculous that they simply couldn't transport the amount of charge they can. Even with the wheel attached to the steering gear today if you lose hydraulic power (that you can) or electric assistance in the middle of a curve in the highway you'll die so it is more a psicological fear than other thing. Don't be a pussy and embrace the Future.

+AZR NSMX1 And look how often those systems on aircraft fail. People say "Flying is the safest form of transportation" but that doesn't take into account for numbers: How many planes are there and how many cars/trucks are there? Planes SEEM to fail less, but only because there's far fewer of them. (Edited a grammatical error to appease narcissistic nitpicking douche)

That's a great idea to save some fuel gas mileage but all of those auto makers also need to make an elictric air conditioning compressor to save more money on fuel because the fuel prices are to high now these days plus that would also give little more power to the engine by getting rid of another belt on to car's engine. ..

I hope steer by wire is hack proof or interference proof. I could imagine some tech-twit hacking passing cars to mess with the steering. Oops, I couldn't keep from driving to the fast food drive thru! The car just steered straight for the power pole. Wham. Electric steering is one thing, steer by wire is quite something else that should take decades to get approval from the feds.

Steering by wire will inherently cool is dangerous simply for the fact their is no backup. If your power steering fails you can still steer the car through brute force and at highway speeds does not require much effort at all. So if you don't have the raw physical power to overcome the steering at low speed less than 10mph you'll probably still be fine even if the car gets dinged up. I've driven cars with no power steering that were supposed to have power steering and it's not very comfortable but completely doable. For drive by wire steering to be safe it would require 2 completely separate systems that each on its own can steer the car so the failure of one doesn't = wreck. Also at least one of which needs to be able to function for a few minutes even in the event of complete primary power loss.
@AZURA8887 жыл бұрын
Aircrafts fly by wire and nobody says anything even when the risk if those systems fails are much biggers. If those systems fails in the air is the end, even with emergency power of 5 mins that will not work in the air, in a car you can stop inmediatelly, in a plane you need to find an airstrip, it is reliable, the fear is not the lack of energy or connection, that can happen too with the mechanical attachments, the fear with an all electronic system in future electric cars like Teslas connected to the internet is the hacking at distance.
@carlzimmerman87007 жыл бұрын
AZR NSMX1 aircraft systems on commercial aircraft have multiple backups and are capable of operating untill the plane lands even in the event of complete fuel lost, because of a special ram air prop that deploys from the bottom of the plane in the event both engines and the auxiliary power unit in the tail of the plane fails. Which any one of those 3 engines can supply enough power to power the entire air plane. The prop that deploys is roughly the same size as the main prop on a Cessna and supplies emergency electrical and hydraulic power.

Hello I'm having a problem with my wife's 2009 Ford Escape. Electric steering no fluids. It's not under recall and should be. Upon engine start the steering wheel automatically binds making it hard to turn the steering wheel. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled. My 2009 Ford Escape was Made in Kansas City Assembly Plant Job#2 program 2. The recalls are only for Kansas City Assembly Plant Job#1, year models 2008-2011. With this information I believe it is just to include my and other vehicles in this recall. Please share to get this done.
