Jakarta – Lexus is making a important appearance at the 2025 Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) exhibition, focusing on showcasing its latest technological advancements to Indonesian consumers. The centerpiece of their display is the RZ 500e, highlighting the innovative steer-by-wire system.
Introducing Steer-by-Wire Technology
lexus Indonesia General Manager, Ima Nurbani Rahmah, emphasized the company’s objective at GJAW: “Our current target is to focus on introducing the latest lexus technology. specifically, we aim to showcase our steer-by-wire system.” But what exactly *is* steer-by-wire, and why is it a game-changer?
What is Steer-by-Wire?
Traditionally, a car’s steering wheel is mechanically linked to the wheels. steer-by-wire eliminates this mechanical connection. Rather, sensors detect the driver’s steering input, and this facts is sent electronically to actuators that turn the wheels. Think of it like a flight control system – the pilot doesn’t directly move the control surfaces,but rather sends electronic signals that do.
Why Steer-by-Wire Matters
- enhanced Precision: Electronic control allows for more precise steering adjustments, leading to improved handling and responsiveness.
- Customizable Steering Feel: Manufacturers can tailor the steering feel to suit different driving conditions or driver preferences. Want a lighter feel for city driving and a heavier feel on the highway? Steer-by-wire makes this possible.
- Advanced Safety Features: Steer-by-wire systems can integrate with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like lane keeping assist and parking assist, providing more effective and reliable support.
- Packaging Benefits: Removing the steering column frees up valuable space in the vehicle cabin, allowing for more flexible interior designs.
