It's still four wheels, a steering wheel and an engine and there's never been anyone better than Michael.

Thanks to BMW's four-mode driving-dynamics software which ratchets up the responses of the steering, suspension, engine, transmission and brakes the 640i has a broad performance envelope, from sluggardly to aggressive.

Power steering fluid on a hot engine could also cause a fire, GM reported.
In particular, all received top scores from both sources in powertrain dependability, which affects key components like the engine, transmission, steering and suspension.
In 2010, the IMO adopted rules that require any large cruise ship built after July 1 of that year to have a separate, redundant system able to maintain the ship's propulsion, steering and so forth in case one engine is disabled by fire.
Controlling steering using electric motors also helps to reduce fuel consumption and hence carbon-dioxide emissions. (Electric motors require power only when the steering wheel is turned, whereas a hydraulic pump drains power from the engine all the time.) Ford reckons 90% of its cars will have electronic steering within three years.
The object information is then processed and passed on to the Continental Motion Domain Controller to control the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral motion via signals to the engine, the brakes and the steering system.

In other hybrids, you can usually feel a subtle shudder through the steering wheel, seat or gas pedal when the gasoline engine kicks on.

In simplistic terms, that user-friendly software did the same for logic engines what automatic transmissions, power steering and power brakes did to tame the internal combustion engine and launch the age of the automobile.
Next, we are going to have our guys fly to the surface and back in a ship made of foil, then somehow dock with the orbiting craft, none of which has been tested in lunar orbit, fire another engine blast and get home, again without any steering, power or otherwise.
But like a moto magician, Sopheng turned the handlebars this way and that, minutely steering a course between puddles, somehow avoiding the slickest spots that would have sent us flying, gunning the engine moments before we got stuck, fording fathomless puddles when that was the only way, and all with a serene smile.
