In a drive-by-wire steering system for the disabled driver, the safety of the system depends on the reliability of the electronic components. There is however another constraint, that of cost. A microprocessor-based system appears to be the most appropriate type. It was found however that three independent channels were needed to get the required level of reliability. The prototype system described here illustrates some of the problems and some of the potential solutions. Important among these is the balancing of the computations between the parallel channels.
