Abstract
This invention relates to an integrated sub-assembly for installation of a steering column and/or steering wheel of an automatic vehicle. A plurality of building units arranged in the area of the steering column and/or steering wheel are integrated with each other in terms of space for purpose of simplified manufacture and assembly so that, in this way, it is possible to economize on housing walls as well as on mechanical and electrical interfaces. Advantageous further developments deal with the drive of components within the building units by the steering wheel.
