Good point. What about simply powering only the outer wheel? It could look at the steering position to decide when to do that?

- sandworm101 6y agoSo long as you are happy giving up 1/2 of your traction, that would only solve corners if the steering wheel is moving. Say your right wheel hits a bump. Even with zero steering input that right wheel is traveling slightly further than the left wheel. (Up and over the bump is longer than the strait line driven by the left wheel.) There also also times when the steering wheel moves but the car remains strait (crosswinds). The further one looks down this rabbit hole, the more appealing a simple mechanical differential becomes.
