Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle has a first actuator for turning a first set of steerable vehicle wheels connected with a first axle of the vehicle. The first actuator turns the first set of steerable vehicle wheels connected with the first axle to cause the vehicle to turn and travel along a desired path. A second actuator turns a second set of steerable vehicle wheels connected with a second axle of the vehicle. A third actuator turns a third set of steerable vehicle wheels connected with a third axle of the vehicle. A control unit controls the second and third actuators connected with the second and third axles to turn the second set of steerable vehicle wheels and the third set of steerable vehicle wheels. The control unit may control the second and third actuators in response to a signal from a sensor to turn the second set and third set of steerable vehicle wheels connected with the second and third axles to eliminate, reject or reduce the yaw moment and lateral force acting on the vehicle due to an aerodynamic force.
