Nexteer Announces Direct Drive Hand Wheel Actuator: Latest in Motion-by-Wire Innovation

  • Achieves New Level of Premium Steering Feel, Enables Revolutionary Cabin Design
  • Offers Automotive OEMs Unprecedented Packaging & Design Flexibility

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive today announced its Direct Drive Hand Wheel Actuator (DD-HWA) as the company’s latest advancement in Steer-by-Wire (SbW) technologies. DD-HWA establishes a new benchmark for steering feel, system integration and vehicle design flexibility enabling automakers to deliver next-generation driving experiences across software-defined vehicles and all levels of assisted and automated driving. DD-HWA is compatible with both 12V and 48V vehicle architectures, supporting integration across traditional, hybrid and electrified platforms globally.

DD-HWA Delivers the Thrill of Driving for a By-Wire Era

As the cornerstone of Nexteer’s Motion-by-WireTM portfolio, SbW replaces the traditional mechanical connection between the hand wheel and road wheels with electronic control, enabling packaging and design flexibility, plus new safety and performance features.

This evolution from mechanical to digital control sets the stage for Nexteer’s next SbW milestone: DD-HWA. Following is an overview of the combination of innovations and benefits to OEMs and drivers.

  • Premium Steering Feel: Smooth and highly responsive steering gives drivers confidence, control and comfort in all driving conditions.
    • Fast, dynamic response for superior handling: High amplitude-response bandwidth.
    • Precise, comfortable steering feedback: Cogging torque ripple tightly controlled.
  • Compact, Lightweight, Low or High Mount Designs: Low-Mount is positioned with the feedback actuator under the dash. High-Mount is a compact design with the feedback actuator mechanism located just under the steering wheel or other steering interface. This breakthrough allows the steering interface to be located almost anywhere in the cabin and opens the door to innovative stow and interior concepts.
    • Both designs support all propulsion types and optimize space and energy efficiency especially important for NEVs.
  • Enhanced Safety: Rigid-connection structure enhances steering accuracy, while built-in redundancy mechanisms ensure stable operation.
  • In-House High-Performance Motor: Vertical integration of key components further strengthens competitiveness, supply agility and quality control.
  • Simplified Architecture: Streamlined design reduces components, improves robustness and enables seamless vehicle integration.
  • High-Precision Multi-Channel Angle Sensing: A redundant multi-channel angular sensor design, coupled with a specialized gear combination structure, delivers exceptional signal accuracy enhancing safety and diagnostic performance.
  • 48V and 12V Compatibility: High-power output with reduced current draw improves efficiency, thermal performance and safety across EV, hybrid and ICE platforms.

“Our Direct Drive Hand Wheel Actuators are the latest in Nexteer’s Steer-by-Wire innovations that help automakers deliver the very latest in technology and driver experiences all within scalable architectures for all vehicle types,” said Robin Milavec, President, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Board Director, Nexteer Automotive. “By combining advanced mechatronics, software-defined motion control and flexible packaging, we’re giving OEMs the power to differentiate their users’ experiences while future-proofing their platforms.”

Kadisco General Hospital and MindHYVE.ai™ Sign Strategic MoU to Transform Healthcare in Ethiopia with Agentic AI

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kadisco General Hospital (KGH), one of Ethiopia’s leading private healthcare institutions, and MindHYVE.ai™, a U.S.-based pioneer in agentic artificial intelligence (AI), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch an ambitious collaboration that will accelerate AI-powered healthcare innovation, operational efficiency, and workforce capacity-building in Ethiopia.

MH_Kadisco
MH_Kadisco

The partnership, formalized in Addis Ababa on September 11, 2025, brings together Kadisco’s strong foundation in clinical excellence with MindHYVE.ai’s™ advanced AI technologies, including ChironAI™ for clinical decision support. The collaboration will also deploy CIAI’s (California Institute of Artificial Intelligence) Dawn Directive™ program for AI literacy and ethics training, alongside ArthurAI’s™ Corporate Learning Platform (CLP) for workforce learning and development.

Three Pillars of Collaboration

Under the MoU, Kadisco and MindHYVE.ai™ will jointly explore pilot programs across three key tracks:

  • Clinical Innovation – deploying AI to enhance diagnostics, treatment recommendations, patient monitoring, and predictive analytics for improved outcomes.
  • Hospital Operations – leveraging AI to optimize scheduling, medication management, revenue cycle processes, and resource allocation.
  • Workforce Capacity-Building – delivering AI literacy and ethics education for clinicians and administrators and strengthening internal leadership and compliance training through ArthurAI’s™ Corporate Learning Platform (CLP).

Ethiopia faces one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in Africa, with fewer than 1.5 physicians per 10,000 people, making access to quality care a critical challenge. Kadisco General Hospital already manages more than 50,000 patient visits and 15,000 emergency cases annually, and through its partnership with MindHYVE.ai™ it expects to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline hospital operations, and expand the reach of specialized care. Globally, AI-powered healthcare initiatives have demonstrated the ability to reduce patient wait times by up to 25%, improve hospital resource utilization by 30%, and lower operational costs by 10–15% — impact levels Kadisco now aspires to achieve. Alongside these clinical and operational advances, CIAI’s Dawn Directive™ program will train up to 500 clinicians, administrators, and staff in AI literacy and ethics during its first year, positioning Kadisco as one of the first hospitals in East Africa to embed AI capacity-building at scale.

Leadership Perspectives

Bill Faruki, Founder & CEO of MindHYVE.ai™, stated:

“This collaboration is about redefining what’s possible in African healthcare. By combining Kadisco’s reputation for excellence with our agentic AI systems, we aim to create a scalable model for clinical innovation and workforce empowerment in Ethiopia and beyond.”

Ismael Khalifa, Engineering Director at Kadisco General Hospital, added:

“Kadisco has always strived to be at the forefront of medical excellence. Partnering with MindHYVE.ai™ allows us to embrace cutting-edge AI technologies while ensuring our clinicians and staff are prepared for the future of healthcare.”
