The car steers itself into the curve. Normally, brakes convert kinetic energy into heat. Recuperation systems instead convert energy tapped from the wheel into electrical energy. In EVs, this energy can be used to recharge the batteries, thereby extending the driving range. This provides particularly good drive dynamics.
