[Auto] The ban on screens on the steering wheel is open thanks to this new airbag

[Noticias ALEJANDRO]

Digitalization in cars has reached a point that we thought was insurmountable. The vast majority of new vehicles have their interiors full of screens, which are the ones from which practically all parameters are controlled, including some such as air conditioning. However, the trend could go further, since we have just seen that the ban on steering wheel screens is opened. Before it was something completely unthinkable due to the position of the mandatory safety airbag, but this innovation changes everything.

 

 

We are used to seeing airbags coming out of the front of the steering wheel, however, ZF has come up with something different. The company specializing in transmissions and other automotive components has wanted to change this practice of putting the folding bag on the steering wheel pear, something that has been maintained since 1980. Now it presents the ZF Lifetec, the steering wheel that expands the design possibilities and allows to include screens thanks to the fact that the airbag deploys from the top, unlike the rest.
