   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_accessory_power

   The engine generally has a hydraulic pump mechanically driven by the engine, but there may also be electrically driven pumps. In passenger cars, the most common use of hydraulic power has been the steering system. Convertible tops may be raised and lowered using hydraulics.

3. Battery regenerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_regenerator

   A sulfated battery has higher electrical resistance than an unsulfated battery of identical construction. As related by Ohm's law, current is the ratio of voltage to resistance, so a sulfated battery will have lower current flow. As the charging process continues, such a battery will reach the charger's preset cut-off more rapidly, long before ...

4. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

5. Dynamic steering response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_steering_response

   Dynamic steering makes driving a more comfortable experience as pain and risk of injury from muscle activity is greatly reduced. [2] DSR systems also make driving more safer as vehicle stability and steering control is greatly improved. Obstacles on the road such as uneven grounds or potholes can cause unstable driving.

6. Active steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_steering

   The BMW active steering system consists principally of a power-assisted rack and pinion steering gear, a double planetary gear system in the steering column, and an electric actuating motor. [ 1 ] The double planetary gear system incorporates an input sun gear connected to the driver’s steering wheel, two planetary gears, an output sun gear ...
