1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
measuring first acceleration data using a first acceleration sensor;
measuring second acceleration data using a second acceleration sensor;
determining drift data of at least one of the first acceleration sensor or the second acceleration sensor based on the first acceleration data and the second acceleration data; and
determining a pitch angle of a steering column based on the drift data, the first acceleration data, and the second acceleration data.
