  • Method and detection unit for detecting a probability that a steering element of a vehicle is held by a hand of a driver
    Patent number: 12722686
    Abstract: A method for detecting a probability of a steering element of a vehicle being held by a hand of a driver is disclosed. The method includes a step of reading in a torque signal representing a torque acting on a torque sensor coupled between the steering element and a steering transmission. The method also includes a step of recognizing a probability of a steering element of a vehicle being held by a hand of a driver if a value of the torque signal and/or an absolute value of the torque signal exceed(s) a threshold value that is dependent on a current vehicle speed in order to detect the probability of the steering element of the vehicle being held by a hand of the driver.
