Steer-by-wire system or similar system

A steering system comprising:

• a first steering input device (08) having a mechanical steering element (10) that is connected to a shaft (11) of a first actuator (12) and provided with a first position measuring device (13) measuring the position of the mechanical steering element (10);
• a second steering input device (07);
• a driving actuator (02) for an element (06) to be controlled by the steering system having a second position measuring device (04) measuring a position of the element (06) to be controlled;
• an electronic control unit (01) receiving input signals from the first and second position measuring devices (13, 04) and simultaneously from the first and second steering input devices (08, 07) and providing control signals for the first actuator (12) and the driving actuator (02), these control signals causing a desired torque in the shafts (11, 05) of the actuators (12, 02) or moving the shafts (11, 05) in a desired position, wherein said electronic control unit (01) also receives handover signals from external systems that cause either the input signals from the first (08) or from the second input device (07) to be used to produce the control signal for the driving actuator (02), wherein the electronic control unit (01) calculates an output signal for the first actuator (12) that causes the steering element (10) to take a position that is determined by the input signal of the second input device (07) within less than 0.1 sec, wherein a torque sensor (03) is provided between the second position-measuring device (04) and the driving actuator (02) connected to the controlled element (06) and wherein a further position-measuring device is provided between the torque sensor (03) and the driving actuator (02).
