FAQ

Race-by-Wire GmbH was founded in 2022 by Prof. Lutz Eckstein, Klaus Graf, and Hubert Hügle.

Based in Böblingen, we are a technology company developing innovative by-wire systems that replace mechanical connections with intelligent electronic control. Our mission is to rethink mobility, making it safer, more intuitive, and more emotional than ever before.

Active Stick Control (ASC) is our revolutionary control interface designed to replace the traditional steering wheel. It enables a completely new driving experience through precise and direct steering, improved visibility of the road and cockpit, an ergonomically relaxed seating position, and adaptive haptic feedback.

As a result, driving becomes more comfortable, safer, and more dynamic, while the interior transforms into a stage for modern mobility.

In steer-by-wire systems, the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels is replaced by electronic signal transmission. Active Stick Control perfectly complements this principle.

It captures every movement with precision, transmits it digitally to the chassis, and delivers authentic, dynamic driving feedback through finely tuned haptic responses—entirely without a steering column.

More Safety:
Through dual redundancy and fail-operational system architecture.

More Visibility:
No steering wheel obstructs the view of the road or displays.

More Comfort:
Ergonomic design for long-distance driving and everyday use.

More Freedom:
New possibilities for interior design and vehicle architecture.

More Precision:
Immediate response—clearly noticeable in every driving situation.

Active Stick Control is currently in an intensive testing phase with multiple demonstrator vehicles. Together with leading industry partners and OEMs, we are working to integrate the technology into series-production vehicles from the mid-2020s onward, initially in the premium and performance segments.

Our vision is a new dimension of control. Race-by-Wire represents the transition from traditional mechanical systems to intelligent, connected, and human-centered mobility.

We develop technologies that give drivers greater control, enhanced safety, and a deeper sense of driving enjoyment—shaping the mobility of tomorrow.
