The steering angle is used by many ADAS functions, from blind-spot detection to autonomous driving.
What and Why of Sensing the Steering Angles
Measuring the position angle and rate of turn is critical for Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems, Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Scan tools call these Steering Angle Sensors (SAS) and typically display the information in degrees. Combined with input from the yaw, accelerometers and wheel speeds, a computer can determine if the vehicle is understeering, oversteering or is out of control.
On older throttle cable systems, the carburetor or fuel injection system reacted to the throttle angle.
