  • Patent Document 1 When the mechanism of Patent Document 1 is attached to an existing vehicle, the change on the vehicle side is large and it is difficult to standardize it. Further, since the left and right wheels are connected by the arm, the alignment adjustment becomes complicated. In addition, it is difficult to control the right steering and the left steering because the angles are slightly different. Further, since there is only one steering actuator, left and right independent control cannot be performed. In Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the kingpin shaft (steering shaft) is tilted, steering is performed while lifting the vehicle body, which requires a large amount of power. In addition, the tire house becomes larger because the rotation locus of the tire becomes larger.

It is necessary to take measures such as strengthening the above.
