A drive-by-wire steering system on a vehicle requiring counter-steering includes a driver input mechanism, for example, a steering wheel, joystick, voice command receiver, or keyboard, and a control system. A sensor receives driver input and sends that information to the control system. An engagement mechanism, for example, a clutch, separates the driver input mechanism from controlling the vehicle. The control system further includes at least one actuator, a wheel, and a mechanical linkage controllable via the engagement mechanism in order for the control system to articulate a steering mechanism, for example, the front wheel of the vehicle, as appropriate. 种在需要逆转向的车辆上的线控转向系统，所述线控转向系统包括：驾驶员输入机构，例如，方向盘、操纵杆、声音控制接收器、或键盘；以及控制系统。传感器接收驾驶员输入并将信息发送至所述控制系统。例如离合器的啮合机构使所述驾驶员输入机构断开而不控制所述车辆。所述控制系统还包括至少个致动器、车轮、以及经由所述啮合机构可控的机械联动装置，以便用于视情况而将所述控制系统链接到转向机构，例如车辆的前轮。
