How Steer-By-Wire Works - Tesla Cybertruck's Unique Steering!
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2024
- Steer-by-wire on a car means there is no physical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels of the car. This is now a reality thanks to the Cybertruck, the first production vehicle in North America that uses this technology without a mechanical backup steering column. On a traditional car, when you rotate the steering wheel, this passes through the steering column to the steering rack, which moves the steering rack left or right, pulling on tie-rods, pivoting the front wheels based on your input. With steer-by-wire that mechanical connection is gone. When you turn the steering wheel, a sensor sees how much you turn the wheel, and a controller relays that message to the front steering rack, where an electric motor moves the steering rack based on your input, pivoting the front wheels.

"My car lagged"
It can't lag if it's connect via wire and not Bluetooth but I get your point
I mean you can also see latency for some reason
@@Flemuxis electromagnetic waves also have a of 270000km/s so its lag
@@TestHardware823 yeah but not enough to offset the car steering and kill a person
Car finally has a sensitivity setting
Not forgetting that planes are inspected regularly while cars are mainly inspected when they are already faulty.
not forgetting mechanical steering does fail too (2000+ accident speed year) redundancy will make accidents less likely because even if failure are more common it will take simultaneous failures of at least two systems to create a crash.
That's the most American comment. Cars are inspected yearly in the UK
Also not forgetting that a plane has a much greater turning radius and things don't happen on a dime, whereas driving a car, that delay is huge in evasive maneuvers, just saying.
@@jayturner5242Yeah we have yearly inspections too in most states. Some better than others.
They may not be Japanese level inspections, but they definitely can be thorough.
With the redundancy I trust it. People think electronics aren't reliable which is BS. They can be made way more reliable than something mechanical.

Thanks to the Cybertruck? Steer by wire was used almost 10 years ago in Infinity Q60. As for safety, it's worth mentioning that steer by wire has a redundant mechanism. So that even if one sensor fails, you can still steer seamlessly by the other. Chances of both sensors failing at the same time are virtually impossible.
Drive-by-wire has been a thing for at least 20 years. I remember reading about it that long ago.
Probably thinking about drive-by wire for the throttle not for steering.
We’ve been accelerating by wire for a couple of decades now and there have been a few incidents and recalls on electronic throttles.
We’ve been steering by wire for longer with remote control cars and in video games but staying alive isn’t a game.
The child in me would love a big powerful cyber truck but steering by wire is a bit too scary for me.
Toyota have, by far, the best recorded build quality of any manufacturer and they’ve had at least one throttle-by wire recall.
In build quality Tesla are at the opposite end of the scale to Toyota.
This isn't new or unique to tesla

I forgor 💀
Engineer here. Statistically drive by wire systems are more reliable and fail less often than mechanical connections. But they have a few drawbacks.
1. If they do fail, they fail HARD. There is no partial loss of steering or braking, you lose all control. You either have a full connection or none at all. But smart engineers will design a mechanical emergency brake as a backup in case your main brakes or steering fails.
2. Lack of feedback. As there’s no connection between your pedal/steering wheel and your tires, there’s no force feedback when you press the petals down or turn the wheel. This is especially noticeable in yoke steering wheels and brakes, and you may find yourself taking sharper turns or braking harder than usual as you get used to it.
The problem is most cars have not gotten rid of the mechanical emergency/parking brake and replaced them with electric ones also.
The lack of feedback is a major concern in my oppinion
Throttle by wire has been around for decades now and most people don't notice outside of sports cars. Sometimes feedback is desired like sports cars but it also means the handling is more rough, a pothole can jerk your wheel while a electronic controlled one dampens it. Even power steering dampens the feedback, cars without it have more mechanical feedback especially on rough roads. When mine dies, I can feel the texture of the road but when I refill my power steering it's more smooth. @@spacepowerofficial1187
Is it more reliable than manual steering? Hydraulic power steering I can see, but I can't imagine anything being more reliable than a beam and a rack and pinion, especially considering you're much more likely to be able to feel something going wrong if it does compared to drive by wire, not to mention the inexpensive repair costs
@@nef36 you might be right but when did You last time saw a car without a hydraulic steering help? When they fail they still can mess Your steering
its not like having direct feedback from the road or the ability to steer in a power failure are important anyways.

That latency in turning the wheels is insane💀💀
There is no latency. The issue is that those wheels and the weight on top of them require a huge force to steer them as quickly as the man in the video turned the wheel. Essentially, due to lack of connection you can turn the wheel faster than the car can spin the motor.
However, that is not the same as latency, the motor responds immediately, it just can't keep up with the speed if you turn the wheel side to side that quickly.
@@Obi-WanKannabis bro thats visable lag of like 300 to 400 ms is it routeing the stearing through the starlink network before it gets to the ECU?
@@arfazero1 the wheel starts moving as soon as the driver turns it. The issue is that the driver, since he isnt connected to the wheels, can get to the end of rotation much quicker than the motor can.
@@arfazero1idk if you were exaggerating but its not close to 400ms at all, its under 200 when not moving. it's probably the perception from it slowing down before steering the other way. but it wont be a problem for the type of people driving these, you'd have to be going unreasonable speeds for it too affect you.
@@Obi-WanKannabisbruh what? An electrical connection will ALWAYS have latency. A mechanical connection is instant.
The automotive industry’s ability to fix things that aren’t broken always astonishes me

I don't think that's "fixing" that is more like "improving". Is it an actual improvement for cars? I don't know, I guess time will tell us
It reduces weight quite significantly and with that improving efficiency.

A company called "Nexteer Automotive" based in china with locations in poland, mexico, and the usa, have started making steer by wire instead of traditional steering which is what the company has been doing (i know all this because my dad use to work at the location in the US and Mexico). I find this topic very facinating and innovative.
Steer by wire has been commonplace in the auto industry for years.
1. Airplane has multiple backup systems.
2. Even if all backup systems are out of powered, an airplane still can glide in the air and using the twin engine differential to stirr the aircraft. While on the ground once your stirring wheel is powered off, you it’s only seconds before you die.
1. Cars can stop on the road if something goes wrong unlike the planes. 2. Hydroulic systems are not capable of instant moves like electric motors. 3. The MCU of those steer-by-wire systems analyzes the input millions of times in a second which is way faster than a normal human's reaction time. 4. This tech classified as Class 2 or Class 3 electronics which is the same class of tech that your life depends on at a hospital.

There's no extra delay, that's just how it is when you're moving the wheels while at rest. Test it on your car, you'll see it probably has a longer delay waiting for the hydraulics to kick in.
THIS! That looks scary.

This is such a quintessential example of solving a problem that doesn't exist with added complexity.
But the fan boys eat it thinking it's some great innovation.
So you’ve met a few techbros then?
It certainly help when cars go to LHD and RHD markets
This reduces complexity a part was eliminated thanks to this… everything else was already in place the electric motor for power steering the steering wheel sensor…
It's not a problem the consumers face but instead a problem the designers and engineers face. It's much easier to package steer by wire than it is to package a steering column and a race and pinion system. Also, in case of a front end collision, the steering column it's a dangerous element if it doesn't collapse but you don't have that issue with steer by wire.
I always thought my car's steering system felt too solid and safe. Thanks for solving this problem

Is it just me or was there like a pretty noticeable delay between input and action?

This is normal in mechanical systems too due to compliance. Hard to say if it’s to the same extent but its definitely noticeable
@@solomonsmith3658 go to your car with someone and recorde it. Compliance means the wheele is not pointed the whole way, not a delay.
If you think a hydraulic/mechanical steering mechanism doesn't have a delay, you are delusional. Not saying the delay on the tesla wasn't noticeable or longer than such systems, but the delay in a mechanical system is on the order of hundreds of milliseconds from when you move the steering wheel to when the tires begin to move, and a bit longer for the car to begin to change direction. Just because it "feels" responsive, doesn't mean it's actually faster. Good luck finding any literature on this. I found one chapter of a book in a cursory search on systems equations for steering with actual numbers but that's about it.
I think a lot of people forget that different steering systems use different ratios.
It's way faster. As you can see with 3/4 of a turn you turn as much as 2,5 turns on a mechanical system. That's why they don't seem synchronized.

No sir you are wrong. It’s not thanks to the Cybertruck. Infiniti has been having this for years on the Q50 and Q60. It started with the Q50 in 2014. It’s called Direct Adaptive Steering. The Steer by wire system has a clutch with a mechanical linkage for failover in the event there is an issue with the system.
I can’t really see the point of such a system as, if you think about it, the main reason for steer-by-wire is increased crash safety by eliminating the steering column but in this case it’s there, it’s just disengaged by a clutch🤷🏼
I was waiting for someone to comment this 👌🏼
Im pretty certain he knows that but just said it for the video. Or maybe he just meant as in thanks for being a big name adding to the space or something
There is no mechanical linkage in the cyber truck or the Lexus example he had.

The cars have redundancy too. Look up steering by wire. Other sports cars have it too, btw.
@@someoneonyoutube181 sports cars do NOT utilize steer-by-wire, while many do Throttle-by-wire none are non steering rack based. It is a redundant form of steering, with lack of feedback and inaccuracy. FEW race cars have used SBW but its at an entirely different level than consumer products
For example many Boeing jets have mechanical links between the cockpit to a majority of the control surfaces.
@@someoneonyoutube181do they have triple redundancy, most aircraft have triple or quadruple redundancy just in case, and there is a reason race cars and airplanes cost so much,
in Airbus's fly-by-wire systems there are three redundant flights control computers, and each of those is internally redundant. The two internal systems are completely dissimilar in every way: they use different computer chips, they are powered by separate generators, and the software on them is written by two separate teams that are not allowed to talk to each other.
So for a complete failure to occur you'd have to have so many things go wrong at the same time that it just can't feasibly happen. It's likely less probable than getting hit by a plane, train, bus, and boat simultaneously while driving down the road.
And there's are still failures, and constant maintenance, they are not going to do all that for a car, nobody could afford it if they did, the average f1 race car costs between 12 and 20 million dollars, they can afford that, passenger cars cannot, there are a ton of crazy bleeding edge technology on race cars like that, not only are most of them not feasible just from a financial viewpoint but many are also one and done products, they race, race is over, change them out,

a mechanical connection just feels so much better. you are more connected to the car as opposed to the feeling of using a driving simulator.
Also, sensors are notorious for failing without reason
@@nathannorton5972 True, at least you can feel the looseness or sometimes hear sounds when mechanical parts start failing
That's exactly why car companies have never used a system like this. This isn't even innovative, as this could've been achieved ages ago, but proper car manufacturers know that a solid mechanical connection is way less likely to fail, because it's less complex. Always remember, the more complex a machine is, the more things can go wrong.
@@combastion5227they haven’t done this because it’s more expensive. It’s significantly more reliable, as has been proven by aviation. Mechanical control systems need a lot of maintenance relative to electronic fly-by-wire systems. That’s why every modern jet (except the 737) uses fly-by-wire controls.
@@combastion5227 not even so much as less likely to fail either but like i said being connected to the cars and having more direct control over it but also you can more easily determine if the steering system is failing as its almost never a sudden failure unlike with electronics its usually either it works or it suddenly doesnt. even better, if the car loses power with a mechanical system, even if the steering rack is electronically powered, you can still steer the vehicle albeit with much more effort at slower speeds but still.
