Four wheel steering systems provide steering to all four wheels of a vehicle. When the driver turns the steering wheel, all four wheels turn in the same direction, allowing the vehicle to respond more quickly than a traditional two-wheel steering system where the rear wheels lag behind. The key advantages are improved cornering stability, steering responsiveness, high speed stability, and a smaller turning radius. However, four wheel steering systems are complex mechanically and have not achieved widespread adoption due to high costs and maintenance requirements.
