Abstract
An arrangement controls the steering angle of a motor vehicle and the like which contains a user-controllable operating element and a vehicle longitudinal speed sensor system. A steering angle adjusting device is coupled with the longitudinal speed sensor system and the operating element such that the desired steering angle value is indicated as a function of the control force exercised on the operating element and the sensed longitudinal speed of the vehicle. Control element deflection devices deflect the operating element corresponding to the respective existing actual steering angle value.
