Surely that's a typo for 'aléatoire', isn't it?

critical random power-assisted steering (input)

In a real driving situation the input to the steering system is random. I'm not sure where the "critical" bit comes in, but could be related to the ability of the servo-system to keep up, since all such systems exhibit lag and overshoot.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, I suspect it means like my old BX, which would sometimes give alarming little 'nudges' to the steering all of its own accord! / Oops!
