In cooperation with the University of Linköping, Volvo has the last three years been working on four-wheel steering. It's the new "by wire" technology that makes this interesting. At the present configuration, all wheels can be angled in the same direction if you want to move the car sideways. But you can also angle the fronts opposite from the rears if you want to reduce the turn radius. Or you can angle the wheels for better stability on the highway. What they trying now, is to incorporate some kind of anti-drift system. Source: Last issue of Teknikens Värld.
Note the rear wheel:
