Abstract
A method for actuating a “steer-by-wire” steering drive mechanism by means of at least two triggerable control motors and gear units downstream of them, by which a gear element, connected to the wheels, can be driven simultaneously, is characterized in that the two control motors can be triggered independently of one another in such a way that by them both, drive forces in both the same direction and opposite directions and of equal or different amounts oriented in both the same and in opposite directions can be generated simultaneously.
