Everything you ever wanted to know about four-wheel steering

The automotive world is filled with innovative ideas and concepts that often fade into obscurity. Among these, four-wheel steering (4WS) stands out as a promising technology that has been overlooked due to poor execution and marketing. Once used in early 20th-century trucks, 4WS was conceptualized for enhanced maneuverability but rarely saw real-world application. Now, with its potential benefits—reducing turning circles and improving stability—it is gaining attention despite lingering doubts about its viability in the current market landscape.
