Driver Steering Recommendation

Driver Steering Recommendation

On the SEAT León, the electric power steering has an additional feature: the Driver Steering Recommendation system.[1]

Put simply, software senses when the car is going into a skid and automatically corrects by giving the wheel a quick nudge. Recognizing that most drivers find the idea of a car steering itself a little troubling, SEAT is quick to stress that the robotic nudge is merely a 'suggestion', which the driver is free to override at any time. A clever idea, if a little weird, which seems to work in practice.
