The steering angle sensor is responsible for determining the position angle of the steering wheel and the rate of change of the steering wheel turns.
This can be particularly useful for determining the car’s level of control. For example if the car is travelling at a fast speed with minimal turns then that means the car is most likely operating normally. However, if the steering angle is changing at a fast rate and the car is moving at a high speed then that can indicate the car is out of control. The importance of this sensor being accurate is crucial as this determines how safe and accurate the car can turn.
More information will be added to this document once we determine the sensor type (analog vs digital).
