They turn like butter in parking lots, it’s crazy no one has done this type of steering on a mass production truck yet.

GM did it in the early 2000's. It's not generally worth the trade-offs in a pickup truck (cost, durability, maintenance, weight capacity, wheel-well size, etc.).


The 48v system voltage and steer by wire make it much cheaper to implement. Not sure how the quadrasteer did it but it wasn’t cheap for GM
