So. Kinda like fly-by-wire - no mechanical linkages.
So, if steering is much sharper at slow speed, resulting in a lack of granularity in steering control, are there any issues around accuracy? Genuine question - I've never driven a Tesla.
Yes no mechanical linkages of any kind between the wheel and the steering --> Also works in case of a front crash as currently, bad crashes mean, the steering is pushed into the occupant cell and despite airbags, it could be fatal.
As for accuracy, no issues until 5 million kilometers. And after that they will need some calibration thats all if all the electrical components are still optimal.
Since they are speed sensitive, they are actually more accurate. So sudden full turn of the yoke at high speeds, will not result in a toppling of the car (as with the current systems) but rather a more aggressive lane change at max.
