In reply to Ken. What if the front steering malfunctions and steers the car into another lane! What a disaster! No thanks! I’ll stick with my tank treads!

There are a couple cars missing from this list like the 90’s Infiniti J30 and the 2011 to 2013 Infiniti M37s

No that steering system was not available for sale. The first sold car was the 1988 Honda prelude. I sold it. And drove it. !!!

In reply to Ken. Not an expert on 4WS, but the same could be said about plain old PAS, which is why PAS is designed to fail safely. I would assume exactly the same principle is used for 4WS, designed in such a way that a failure locks the system out and the car runs as a regular front-steering car. No one realistically argues that PAS or 4WD systems are inherently dangerous, and they both involve similar hydro-mechanical and digital authority systems at play between the driver and the wheels.

In reply to Ken. It's true that with more components comes more complexity. However, these systems are rigorously tested by engineers before they are productionalized. The odds of the rear wheels wandering with a mind of their own is extremely low, unless the vehicle has sustained damage from a prior incident.

In my 90 years of living, I’ve learned that nothing invented or built by man is infallible. What if at 60 or 70 mph, the rear wheels decide to steer on their own into another Lane? Wouldn’t that spell disaster if you hit another car? No thanks I’ll stick to the old steering system.
