ICHIKOH INDUSTRIES, LTD. Valeo SteerUX

The Valeo SteerUX, uses Steer-by-Wire technology to transform the entire steering wheel into an interactive operating surface. Crystal switches with touch sensitivity, force sensing, and haptics, along with icons that disappear when not needed, allow the driver to easily control safety and entertainment features without distraction. When switching to the autonomous "Auto Mode," the area around the crystal switches becomes active, enabling the driver to check and reply to emails using a virtual keyboard or play games using touchpads and a back button as a controller. It can also feature an integrated drunk driving prevention function, requiring the driver to complete an alcohol test by breathing into a designated area on the steering wheel before "Drive Mode" can be activated.
