The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e has a steer-by-wire system ready for use overseas, and a series of new patent applications indicate it could soon come to the U.S.
for now, but will be offered here at an unspecified future date. Four patent applications published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 27 hint that this date might come sooner rather than later.While there is no set correlation between patent filings and production timing, patenting a new feature is part of the process of bringing it to market.
One patent application was titled"steer-by-wire steering system" that covers the overall system, two applications were filed for"steering control device" that describe a controller that meters power to an electric motor that provides steering torque, and a fourth application was for"steering control device, vehicle power source system, and vehicle" that describes use of an auxiliary power source for the steering motor.
Steer-by-wire won't replace conventional steering, Lexus has said, and the U.S. version also reportedly won't be called One Motion Grip, or OMG, as it is in Europe. The system is planned to launch there as an option in 2025.
