New cars today offer significant improvements in longevity, efficiency, and safety. However, many drivers are disappointed by the lack of steering feedback, which detractors say diminishes the driving experience.
The late Richard Parry-Jones demonstrated that steering feedback significantly influences customer satisfaction in cars, as poor steering can lead to driver fatigue and a decrease in overall enjoyment.
The shift from hydraulic to electric power-assisted steering is a key factor behind the perceived loss of feedback, with electric motors often filtering out vital road forces.
Despite the challenges posed by electric steering systems, innovative designs that position assist motors on the steering rack can help restore some of the lost road feel and enhance driving dynamics.
