DRIVE January 19, 2023

A motor vehicle control case includes an outer shell with several control areas, each of the control areas assigned to a specific function of the vehicle, a printed circuit board supporting elementary sensors to generate an electrical signal in response to an action such as an approach movement, a contact or a pressure exerted by a user by having his fingers on at least one of the control areas. The elementary sensors are connected to an electronic control unit, the electrical signal generated by the elementary sensors being transmitted to the electronic control unit to be analyzed therein and converted into a control of a function of the vehicle. Each elementary sensor includes at least one insulating substrate on which are deposited conductive tracks forming a capacitive sensor and an assembly of conductive or semi-conductive nanoparticles in colloidal suspension in an electrically insulating ligand, the assembly forming a force sensor.
