Reinventing the Wheel: Transforming Steering Wheel Systems for Autonomous Vehicles
summary
Two hardware steering wheels connect a driving simulator via Raspberry Pi and Arduinos: a motorized robotic steering wheel that physically retracts and deploys using four-bar linkages and rotating elements, and an LED LED steering wheel that changes rim color. A simulator study with N=56 (28 per condition) finds the robotic wheel yields zero catastrophic excursions and significantly lower lane-offset and steering-position variance, while the LED wheel matches baseline on most measures but performs worse than the robotic system.
