The Steering Column is DEAD! Why Mercedes & BYD Killed It [Steer-by-Wire]

Описание: The Steering Column is DEAD! Why Mercedes & BYD Killed It [Steer-by-Wire]



The mechanical steering column is DEAD. For over 100 years, a steel shaft connected you to the road. Now, Mercedes, Tesla, and Chinese giants like BYD have cut the connection forever.

In today’s deep dive, we explore the controversial rise of Steer-by-Wire technology. Why are major manufacturers deleting the most critical mechanical link in the car? It is not just about cost—it is about a fundamental shift in physics, safety, and the move to 48-volt architectures.

We analyse why the Infiniti Q50 failed 10 years ago, how the Tesla Cybertruck solved the voltage bottleneck, and why Mercedes-Benz and BYD are betting their future on "disconnected" driving.

🚗 IN THIS VIDEO:

The Safety Problem: Why the steering column is actually a dangerous "spear".

The Physics: How variable steering ratios eliminate "hand-over-hand" turning (Lexus RZ & Tesla Yoke).

The Power: Why the 12-volt battery system had to die for this to work.

The Redundancy: What happens if the screen goes black or the fuse blows? Is it safe?
