The steering angle sensor is a vital component in modern cars and helps to ensure safe driving conditions. It is responsible for measuring the angle of the steering wheel and relaying this information back to the car’s computer system. This allows the car to adjust its speed and braking according to the driver’s inputs, helping to avoid accidents. Steering angle sensors can also be used to detect when a car has veered off course and can trigger an alarm or automatically correct the vehicle’s path.
