Abstract
The invention is a steering system for use in test driving of an autonomous vehicle, comprising—a manual steering means configured to manually steer the vehicle, —a steering axle () attached to the manual steering means, and—a direct drive motor () controllably affecting a torque on the steering axle (), wherein the direct drive motor () has an axis () of rotation being coaxial with the steering axle (). The steering system is characterized in that—it has at least two predefined states characterizing different driving conditions, wherein each predefined state has at least one predefined disengagement limit, and—it further comprises a controller assembly operable based on a control parameter, the controller assembly being configured to detect an actual predefined state of the vehicle, and the controller assembly initiates a disengagement of the direct drive motor () if, based on a difference value between a prescribed value of the control parameter and an actual value of the control parameter, the at least one predefined disengagement limit corresponding to the actual predefined state is reached. The invention further relates to a disengagement method, and a data processing system, a computer program product and a computer readable medium carrying out the method.
