Nexteer, Continental Team to Improve AV Steering, Braking The joint venture’s Brake-to-Steer technology adds another layer of safety by using the electronic brake system to safely steer the vehicle while simultaneously controlling its speed.
Two major automotive suppliers, Nexteer and Continental, are concentrating their expertise to enhance the steering and braking systems required for automated and autonomous vehicles.
The joint venture, called CNXMotion, will use technology from both companies to deliver electronic braking that can operate as an additional layer of steering control for traditional, highly automated and autonomous vehicles from automation levels one through five as defined by the NHTSA, according to executives from both companies, who also describe it as cost-effective.
