Autoliv and Tensor are revolutionizing autonomous driving with the introduction of the world’s first foldable steering wheel. Designed for Tensor’s upcoming Robocar, this innovative steering wheel retracts smoothly into the dashboard when the vehicle switches to Level 4 autonomous mode, creating more space and comfort for the passenger. 🚗
With traditional airbags housed in the steering wheel, removing it posed a safety challenge. The companies addressed this by developing a dual airbag system: one in the steering wheel for manual driving and another in the instrument panel for autonomous mode. Both airbags provide a high level of protection, ensuring safety regardless of driving mode. 🔧🛠️
Tensor’s CEO emphasizes that this foldable design allows Florida drivers to enjoy the best of both worlds—autonomous convenience and manual control when desired. The vehicle’s center screen also shifts position to entertain passengers during autonomous driving. This blend of technology points toward the future of reliable vehicles that adapt to driver preferences.
