Joysteer 3.0 Steer, Brake & Accelerate
High Level Driving Controls
Joysteer® is an electronic, modular driving system that allows people with significant physical impairments to drive a car on their own, safely and comfortably.
Swiss-designed and made by Bozzio AG, this modular system offers various different input devices called HMIs (human machine interfaces) that can be programmed to the specific needs of each driver, adjusting the steering, accelerating and braking.
Each driving request is transmitted using state-of-the-art ‘drive-by-wire’ technology with two separate branches that monitor each other ensuring functionality remains, even in case of a failure, guaranteeing safe driving at all the times.
Integrated active force feedback gives drivers exceptional feel for the road, and speed-dependent steering enables accurate control of your vehicle even at higher speeds, keeping you safely on track.
