Abstract: A device for controlling vibrations generated by electric machines of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a first electric machine unit for driving a first wheel and a second electric machine unit for driving a second wheel. The device is configured to operate the first electric machine unit depending on a first torque to be applied to the first wheel and to operate the second electric machine unit depending on a second torque to be applied to the second wheel. Furthermore, the device is configured to operate the first electric machine unit and the second electric machine unit in a manner coordinated to one another such that predefined target vibrations can be generated as a result of the superimposition of first vibrations caused by the operation of the first electric machine unit and second vibrations caused by the operation of the second electric machine unit.

Abstract: A changeable-shape steering wheel of a motor vehicle has a steering wheel rim composed of a plurality of rim parts, of which some can be pivoted relative to one another, in order for it to be possible, in addition to a circular shape, for it to also be transferred into an approximately oval shape. In a neutral position of the steering wheel which is rotatable about a circular shape center point, the semi-major axis in an oval shape is oriented at least substantially horizontally. The rim parts are movable by way of levers which are provided on the steering wheel rim, such that, in the neutral position, the semi-major axis of the oval shape of the steering wheel is no longer than half the diameter in the case of a circular shape of the steering wheel.
