Car company Volkswagen has revealed details about its important development – the chassis of the car of the future.

“The software will determine the characteristics of the car”: Volkswagen spoke about the autopilot and chassis of the car of the future

As noted by Volkswagen, the company has already begun developing software for the self-driving vehicles of the future. And work is currently underway on the next generation variable-speed chassis and electronic steering.

Volkswagen emphasized that software plays a key role in the development of suspension and steering systems for the self-driving vehicles of the future. It also notes: “In the future, it is the software that will largely determine the characteristics of the car.”

Volkswagen Karsten Schebsdat, Head of Dynamics and Chassis Systems Development Manager, explained:

We have minimized body roll and lateral roll, and have significantly improved dynamic performance through faster steering response and refined handling. This development was another step towards a high level of self-driving. We strive to make any trip as comfortable as possible for passengers. “

Work on a new electronic steering system is heading in this direction, according to Shebsdat:

The steering of the future won’t be complete without software either. We will be able to provide different steering characteristics and give different models, built on the same platform, unique features. “

After the launch of the components into series production, Volkswagen expects such a steering system to take the functionality of assistance systems such as Lane Assist and Travel Assist to a new level.
