Abstract
A steer-by-wire system for a motor vehicle includes at least one steering-wheel actuator having a first availability level and at least one wheel actuator having a second availability level, wherein the first availability level is lower than the second availability level. The steering-wheel actuator communicates with the wheel actuator via a communication interface. The system includes a steering-angle sensor that has a third availability level which is higher than the first availability level and is configured to communicate with the wheel actuator via the communication interface. A motor vehicle including the steer-by-wire system and a method for operating the steer-by-wire system are also disclosed.
