German term or phrase: mitlenken
Hi guys,

This verbs appears several time in an automotive text I'm currently translating, e.g.:

"Bei Langsamfahrt lenkt die Hinterachse des 911R somit mehr gegen, bei schneller Fahrt lenkt sie ausgeprägter mit."

Wondering whether there is a concise term for this.

Thanks,

Gavin

aligns itself ... with
Explanation:
Bei schneller Fahrt lenkt die Hinterachse ausgeprägter mit.
At higher speeds, the rear axle aligns itself more markedly with the front.

Looks to be about 30% longer than the source line.
('Markedly' shorter and slightly more pronounceable than 'pronouncedly')

co-steering


Explanation:
The 911R has the same 500 bhp 4.0 litre boxer engine as the GT3 RS. Acceleration from 0 to km/h in just 3.8 seconds, and only at 323 km/h keeps the 911R. To the sporty character emphasize delivers the brand, the implementation only with a manual gearbox with short schakelwegen.
The special version is equipped with a co-steering rear axle, a mechanical limited slip differential and carbon-ceramic brake discs. Furthermore, Porsche is a function built in that allows the car tussengas at the back.

  -> Tech Data is a genuine US company. But I admit that some Dutch terms (schakelwegen, tussengas = Schaltweg, Zwischengas = shifting travel, double-declutching) are not translated.

synchronous steering


Explanation:
Thus, at slow speeds the rear axle is apt to counter-steer whereas at fast speeds, a more synchronous steering mode will be in effect

Bump steer or roll steer is the term for the tendency of the wheel of a car to steer itself as it moves through the suspension stroke. It is typically measured in degrees of steer per metre of upwards motion or degrees per foot.
On modern cars the front suspension and steering links are designed so that during a turning maneuver, body roll and suspension motions will not influence the car to turn more sharply than the driver anticipates. On modern cars, the leading edge of the front tires move outwards as the suspension is compressed, and inwards as the suspension droops (extends). This is known as "toe out" under bump and results in roll understeer. I.E. During a turn, body roll will cause the outside suspension (relative to the curve) to compress and the inside suspension to droop (extend).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_steer

Figure 35-24 Bump steering usually causes a vehicle to dart and dive involuntarily from side to side whenever a bump is hit in the road.

Mit dem Begriff Übersteuern wird das Verhalten eines Fahrzeuges bezeichnet, das in einer Kurve dazu tendiert mit dem Heck auszubrechen. Dieses Verhalten ist typisch für heckangetriebene Fahrzeuge.

Das gegenteilige Verhalten bezeichnet man als Untersteuern. Untersteuernde Fahrzeuge schieben in einer Kurve mit den Vorderrädern zum äußeren Kurvenrand. Dieses Verhalten ist typisch für frontangetriebene Fahrzeuge.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Übersteuern_(Fahrzeug)

Understeer and oversteer are vehicle dynamics terms used to describe the sensitivity of a vehicle to steering. Simply put, oversteer is what occurs when a car turns (steers) by more than the amount commanded by the driver. Conversely, understeer is what occurs when a car steers less than the amount commanded by the driver.

Der Spurhalteassistent (auch Spurassistent, engl. lane departure warning system (LDW) für Spurverlassenswarnung, und Lane Keeping Assist für den aktiven Spurhalteassistent mit Lenkunterstützung) warnt den Fahrer eines Fahrzeuges vor dem Verlassen der Fahrspur auf einer Straße. Hierbei sind unterschiedliche optische Systeme und Computer im Einsatz, mit deren Hilfe die Position des Fahrzeugs in der Fahrspur bestimmt wird. Das System warnt bei Unterschreitung des Abstandes zur Fahrbahnmarkierung (Distance to Line Crossing-Kriteriums (DLC)) und kann diese Unterschreitung mit Hilfe des Time to Line Crossing-Kriteriums (TLC) vorausberechnen.

Die Spurhalteunterstützung (engl.: lane keeping support, heading control) unterstützt den Fahrer durch automatisiertes permanentes Mitlenken bei der Spurhaltung.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurhalteassistent

Lane keeping assist is a feature that, in addition to the lane departure warning system automatically take steps to ensure the vehicle stays in its lane. Some vehicles combine adaptive cruise control with lane keeping systems to provide additional safety.
While the combination of these features creates a semi-autonomous vehicle, most require the driver to remain in control of the vehicle while it is in use. This is because of the limitations associated with the lane-keeping feature.[24]
The lane keeping assist system are being achieved in modern driverless vehicle systems using image processing techniques called hough transform and canny edge detection techniques. These advanced image processing techniques derive lane data from forward facing cameras attached to the front of the vehicle. Real-time image processing using powerful computers like Nvidia's Drive PX1 are being used by many Vehicle OEMs to achieve fully autonomous vehicles in which Lane detection algorithm plays a key part. Advanced lane detection algorithms are also being developed using deep learning and neural network techniques.[25] Nvidia has achieved high accuracy in developing self-driving features including lane keeping using the neural network based training mechanism in which they use a front facing camera in a car and run it through a route and then uses the steering input and camera images of the road fed into the neural network and make it 'learn'. The neural network then will be able to change the steering angle based on the lane change on the road and keep the car in the middle of the lane.[26]
