Abstract
Innovative automotive technologies like 4-Wheel Drive, 4-Wheel Steering, and Electric Power Steering systems can greatly enhance a vehicle's performance, stability, and handling. These technologies are commonly found in high-end vehicles due to their ability to improve traction, maneuverability, and steering accuracy. A sophisticated system utilizing a combination of advanced sensors, electronic controls, and mechanical components would enable each wheel to turn independently of the others. Such a system could provide even better handling, stability, and traction in challenging driving situations. The integration of independent wheel turning mechanisms, 4-Wheel Drive, 4Wheel Steering, and Electric Power Steering has the potential to transform the automotive industry, offering enhanced safety and efficiency in addition to providing an enjoyable driving experience, making it more appealing to drivers.
