Abstract
A vehicle has a steering wheel for steering the vehicle. The vehicle further has a transponder communication device for contactless communication with a transponder. The transponder communication device detects first control information that is stored in the transponder, compares the first control information with second control information that is stored in the transponder communication device, and generates a vehicle control signal if the first control information corresponds to the second control information. The transponder communication device receives the first control information in a transponder signal. The vehicle has a coil responsive to said transponder signal. The steering wheel has a peripheral ring portion. The coil is included within the peripheral ring portion of the steering wheel.
