Abstract: The disclosure relates to a steer-by-wire system for a motor vehicle including a steering rod, an electric servo unit configured to move the steering rod, and a sliding bearing which radially supports the steering rod in a housing. The housing, the sliding bearing, and the steering rod have complementary geometries whereby the steering rod is prevented from rotating. The sliding bearing includes multiple segments in the circumferential direction, at least one segment of the multiple segments is a sliding bearing location for the radial support. At least one segment of the multiple segments is a first supporting element configured to prevent rotation in one direction of rotation. At least one segment of the multiple segments is a second supporting element configured to prevent rotation in the opposite direction of rotation.

Abstract: In an implementation, a first set of operational data is collected from each processing unit of one or more processing units during a first time period. Based on the first set of operational data, one or more operational parameters of the one or more processing units are modified. The one or more processing units are dynamically configured based on the one or more operational parameters. A second set of operational data is collected from each processing unit of the one or more processing units during a second time period. Using at least one metric, at least one change in performance of the one or more processing units is determined based on a comparison of the first and second set of operational data. A modified configuration is determined based on the change in performance and used to configure the one or more processing units for operation.
