   Image of front toe angle 5 degrees (toe in) In automotive engineering, toe, also known as tracking, [1] is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects.

3. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

   This was achieved by making the linkage not a simple parallelogram, but by making the length of the track rod (the moving link between the hubs) shorter than that of the axle, so that the steering arms of the hubs appeared to "toe out". As the steering moved, the wheels turned according to Ackermann, with the inner wheel turning further. [2]

4. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

   Some also allowed one track to move forward while the other reversed, allowing the tank to spin in place, a concept known as neutral steering. The first really successful system was the British double differential design of 1924, which was copied by both the United States and Germany.

5. Guidance, navigation, and control - Wikipedia

   Navigation refers to the determination, at a given time, of the vehicle's location and velocity (the "state vector") as well as its attitude. [citation needed] Control refers to the manipulation of the forces, by way of steering controls, thrusters, etc., needed to execute guidance commands while maintaining vehicle stability. [citation needed]

6. Kingpin (automotive part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin_(automotive_part)

   The steering kingpin is held in place by the forked ends of a beam axle on a Ford Model T. The kingpin (also king-pin, king pin and k pin) [1] [2] is the main pivot in the steering mechanism of a car or other vehicle. The term is also used to refer to part of a fifth wheel coupling apparatus for a semi and its trailer or other load.

7. Drive by wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire

   A vehicle with a steer-by-wire system may be manually controlled by a driver through a steering wheel, a yoke, or any other steering apparatus which is connected to one or more electronic control units, which uses the input to control steering actuators that turn the wheels and steer the vehicle. The steering wheel or yoke may be equipped with ...
