Do the front wheels of your car really meet Ackermann's principle when driving in a bend of the road?

open access: yes, 1997
In the past, a trapezi-formed four-bar has often been used to realize the unequal turning of these wheels. Geometrically, however, this deviates considerably from the required (relative) motion as dictated by Ackermann's Principle.

Do the front wheels of your car really meet Ackermann's principle when driving through a bend of the road?

open access: yes, 1997
In the past, a trapeziformed four-bar has often been used to realize the unequal turning of these wheels. Geometrically, however, this deviates considerably from the required (relative) motion as dictated by Ackermann's Principle.
