SUMMARY

Steering the wheels of a conventional automobile through 90 degrees is not feasible without significant modifications. The discussion highlights the concept of 4-wheel steering as a potential solution, which allows for enhanced maneuverability. However, implementing such a system requires comprehensive changes to the vehicle's design and steering mechanics. The consensus is that achieving 90-degree steering is complex and necessitates a complete overhaul of the vehicle's steering system.
