Vehicle and vehicle steering control system and method

A vehicle steering method for a vehicle having a plurality of steering wheels operated by a plurality of users, comprising:

• receiving steering information from two or more users;
• receiving priority information of the steering wheels corresponding to the two or more users;
• determining at least one to-be-operated steering wheel from the plurality of steering wheels;
• steering the vehicle based on steering information from a user of the steering wheel with a highest priority among the at least one to-be-operated steering wheel in response to that the steering information includes both steering information of a user of a steering wheel by default and steering information of the user of the steering wheel with the highest priority;
• and
• when the steering wheel with the highest priority among the at least one to-be-operated steering wheel is not the same as a top-priority steering wheel among the plurality of steering wheels, driving the top-priority steering wheel among the plurality of steering wheels to rotate according to the steering information of the steering wheel with the highest priority among the at least one to-be-operated steering wheel.

A vehicle steering control system of a vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of steering wheels;
• steering-wheel steering-angle sensors configured to acquire rotation information of the steering wheels;
• steering wheel drive units electrically connected to the steering wheels and configured to drive the steering wheels to rotate;
• a steering wheel controller coupled to each steering wheel drive unit and at least one steering wheel angle sensor;
• and
• an in-vehicle intelligent device coupled to the steering wheel controller and configured to:
• in response to that the vehicle is neither in a steering-wheel driving mode nor in an autonomous-driving mode, detect a target program is running;
• read rotation information of at least one steering wheel of the plurality of steering wheels through a communication bus;
• process the rotation information of the at least one steering wheel to correspondingly generate rotation information of at least one target object in the target program;
• and
• according to the rotation information of the at least one target object, perform steering control correspondingly on the at least one target object,
• wherein the in-vehicle intelligent device is configured to:
• in response to that the vehicle is in the steering-wheel driving mode or the autonomous-driving mode, determine not-to-be-synchronized steering wheels among the plurality of steering wheels, and control the target object according to the rotation information of at least one steering wheel in the not-to-be-synchronized steering wheels,
• wherein the plurality of steering wheels include a default steering wheel and, other than the default steering wheel, any steering wheel among the plurality of steering wheels with priority lower than a priority of a vehicle-controlling steering wheel is used as the not-to-be-synchronized steering wheel.
