regarding EPS & HPS

EPS, jazz petrol ckd
HPS, gen2

the EPS setting on jazz is nice, less heavy than gen2's HPS.

the EPS sometimes feel like Game Racing Steering Wheel (Logitech G27).

on long journey, the EPS need more attention(?).
(ok, i dunno whether this is due to Lotus handling or the steering system itself. on gen2, while moving, the steering is sturdy, while in jazz, the steering will move a bit a bit, then it need more attention in controlling the steering. at 1sttime, i found this to be tiring.)

can the EPS swap with playstation controller? hahahaha

i concerning on the safety & reliability of the EPS rather than talk about FC and weight...
will steering wheel will jammed & unmovable at all due to the failure of EPS motor? it is important especially while driving at road...

this is i cannot comment.

my observation is, in jazzs' EPS u cannot turn the steering unless the engine is ignited, while in gen2's HPS u can move the steering hardly without the engine is ignited.

as for most electrical systems, Redundancy precaution must be there.

emm..since it's EPS, no Hydraulic Oil for Steering.

if redundancy wont be cheap, it should consisted of the motor, electric board, wire, sensor, space consumed, etc... sweat.gif
The reason going for EPS is light weight, space saving (no hydraulic system), cost reduction and capabilities of changes driving mode changes...

but still sometime analog (passive) based still wise choices if talk about safety...
if every devices changed to electronic (active) based are not a good idea AMO... sweat.gif
just like "chicken or egg" story...
