Abstract:
Through this project, we are attempting to introduce an innovative concept of steering mechanism which has got a wide range of possibilities, than that we ever thought of in the history of automobiles. We all know that in some countries like India we follow right-hand driving style whereas there are places in other parts of the world where they are accustomed to left-hand driving. This makes it difficult for a person to use the same car in countries that follow different modes of driving styles. This is where the importance of our project relies upon. We introduce a concept of which the driver is able to unlock his steering from its position, whether it be left or right, and lock it on the other side if he wishes to. By this adaption technique, the same car may be used in different countries. In the fast pace world of today where time is a matter of concern, most of the high officials are using their automobile for discussing business deals or something of that sort. Our project also aims in providing making this task an easy one for them. In a car with minimum cabin space, these discussions are a hideous task. We provide a solution for this. Our concept allows the driver to unlock the steering from its position and lock it on a free space while the automobile is parked. This makes it possible to turn the seats in the front cabin in the opposite direction, allowing everyone to sit face to face. This makes it easy for them to use their mode of travel also as a space for discussions or conferences. This feature of dual drivability also has a lot other applications in off road driving and in many service sectors which will be discussed in the upcoming chapters.
