Oh it goes soooo much deeper than that. The active steering system BMW developed uses every input possible, and does more than you know. It is a very sophisticated system. I'm sure you notice when you are driving and a tire catches a puddle on one side, the steering wheel jerks that way and you have to correct it. On a BMW with active steering, it senses that and corrects it by instantaneously turning the wheels up to 4 degrees to compensate for it, yet does this completely unnoticed to the driver. You can actually kick back and put your hands behind your head and hit puddles with active steering.

To put into perspective how intertwined our systems can be, look at this video... you will be amazed!
