Automotive Steer Wheels of Car 90 Degrees: Possible? How?

AI Thread Summary
Steering a conventional automobile's wheels through 90 degrees is not feasible without significant modifications. Achieving this would require implementing a 4-wheel steering system, which allows for greater maneuverability. However, the necessary changes to the vehicle would be extensive and complex. The discussion raises questions about the purpose behind wanting such a steering capability. Overall, steering a car's wheels to that degree is theoretically possible but practically challenging.
