Der neue XXX (Automarke)hat eine Aktivlenkung. Das heißt, der Servomotor wird von einem zusätzlichen Stellmotor unterstützt, der die Drehung des Lenkrads exakt dem Fahrtempo anpasst und gleichzeitig **eins zu eins auf die Straße übersetzt**.
Eine tolle Sache für verhältnismäßig wenig Geld.
ANyone know what this means?

direct steering feel / steering response
"Active steering ... permanently and mechanically links the steering rack with the car's front wheels, eliminating any potential electronics failure problem. That mechanical coupling maintains BMW's typically direct steering feel while ensuring optimum steering feedback."
Google for "active steering" + direct to get several other descriptions, for example:.
"Active steering works though a planetary gear with two input shafts and one output shaft flanged onto the rack-and-pinion steering gear. One input shaft is connected to the steering wheel. The second is driven by an electric motor through what BMW calls a self-inhibiting helical gear. Combined with BMW's Servotronic power steering, Active steering continually communicates with the DSC. The 5 Series' conventional steering has three turns lock-to-lock. The Active Steering system reduces that to less than two turns, making driver's input more direct while virtually eliminating the need to cross over hands on the steering wheel during a sharp turn."

transfers directly to the road (via movement of the car's wheels)
If you are going slow, a minor movement of the steering wheel is not going to
have a big effect.
If you are going fast, a minor movement of the steering wheel could have you facing oncoming traffic on the Autobahn.
I think this function compares how far you turn the steering wheel with how fast you are going before transferring this movement to the wheels and therefore to the road accordingly.
Just my personal theory, however.

maintaining a one-to-one relationship....
"adapts precisely to driving speed while maintaining a one-to-one relationship between steering wheel adjustments and turning on the road."
The problem that active steering control attempts to correct is that at high speeds steering wheel adjustments are perceived to result in turning that is too quick. Maybe what we're talking about is the goal of achieving a "one-to-one" between perceived vehicle turning and steering wheel adjustments, i.e. turning doesn't seem to get more "sensitive" to steering wheel adjustments at higher speeds.
