Sample Business Objective #1
Steering, Suspension & Braking
Step Towards Comfort & SafetyAs mobility makes a move towards sustainability, safety, connectivity, comfort, and autonomy
It creates a significant challenge and growth opportunity for steering, suspension, and braking solution providers
Stakes are high as they try to predict which technologies and markets to invest in and when

Key Trends
Steer-by-Wire Systems
- Eliminates the mechanical /physical linkages
- Controls actuator via electrical signals
Rear Wheel Steering
- Improved handling
- Increased vehicle stability at high speeds
Electric Power Steering
- Reduces costs, complexity and increases efficiency
- Provides steering assistance
Emergency Brake Assist
- Uses electronic systems to detect the sudden application of brakes
- Automatically increase the brake force
Electric Braking Systems
- Uses an electrical current or magnetic actuating force to stop the motor
- Fast response times and precise tenson control
Smart Suspension
- Operates without fluid in dampers
- Greater vehicle reliability with reduced consumption
Predictive Active Suspension
- Uses a stereo camera to judge the condition of the road
- Auto adjusts suspension settings
Automatic Emergency Braking
- Detects an impending forward crash
- Automatically applies the brake to prevent or reduce the severity of crash
