Patent ID: 7472005

Claim:
An auxiliary vehicle steering system for assisting a driver to laterally park a vehicle into space-limited areas, said auxiliary vehicle steering system comprising: a user interface for receiving a user input and transmitting a control output signal associated with said user input signal, said user interface being located within the vehicle; means for rotating a vehicle's front wheels along an arcuate path offset 90 degrees from equilibrium; means for rotating a vehicle's rear wheels along an arcuate path offset 90 degrees from equilibrium such that the vehicle's front and rear wheels align in sync and parallel to each other during operating conditions; and a controller electrically coupled to said user interface, said controller receiving said control output signal and automatically instructing said front wheel rotating means and said rear wheel rotating means to contemporaneously register the front and rear wheels orthogonal to a longitudinal length of the vehicle so that the vehicle can be laterally displaced without moving along a longitudinal path.
