Abstract
A device for motor vehicles and a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle includes a support structure, which is mounted in the vehicle, and a steering wheel, which is rotatably connected to the support structure. The device includes a control unit and a sensor device, which is connected to the control unit. The sensor device is adapted to sense vibrations in the steering wheel and to provide a sensor signal related to the sensed vibrations. An actuator device is connected to the control unit and adapted to influence vibrations in the vehicle. The control unit is adapted to control the actuator device, with regard to the sensor signal, to act on the vehicle in such a way that a desired vibration character in the steering wheel is obtained.
