Abstract

A method for influencing the direction of travel of motor vehicles. The motor vehicle has a first steering system, having at least one steering axle with at least two wheels. The wheels are connected to the steering axle through wheel suspensions that can be adjusted by actuators. A redundant steering system is realized by adjusting a steering roll radius of at least one of the steering axles, according to which a force component acting orthogonally to the direction of travel in the region of at least one wheel is applied to the first steering system.
