Abstract
The technological concept of ‘RBW or XBW’ means replacing essential mechanical components by electrical ones. It was originally used for aircraft only, but now the automotive industry is showing increased interest. As in aeronautics, this method has enormous potential for implementing new design concepts. For example, it may be possible to design the interior of an automotive vehicle with completely different mechanical connections between the steering HW or the pedals and the ECE or ICE compartment. Innovative user interfaces may also be possible – for example, a joystick instead of a steering HW.
