Electric Steering

A system using a powerful high-speed electric motor to turn the wheels (rather than the effort of the driver through a steering column, aided by hydraulic power steering).

This eliminates the need for a steering column (heavy and potentially dangerous) and enables crash-prevention systems to also control the steering (and potentially steer the car automatically in the future, on freeways, for example).
