Dual brake pedals controlling the left and right rear wheels independently at low speeds?
Why don't cars have......

I was just thinking about how some cars/trucks have such horrible turning radii..... slow down the inside wheel, and you can virtually eliminate turning radius and spin on a dime

You don't see it on cars because it would suck. That's why.
If you want a small turning radius, go buy a smart car or a mini cooper.
Say you need to slam on the brakes and, oh whoops, you just hit one of the brakes instead of both, and intstead of missing the car in front of you, you go flying out into on-coming traffic and get t-boned by an 18 wheeler. But hey, your car can turn on a dime.
Plus, people like things simple and easy. Even if someone put 100 trilion dollars out to market a new dual brake pedal car, they would sell zero. Well, 1, and chris302001 bought it because he's a sucker.
Your outer tires spin at a faster rate than the inside tires when turning anyways. Independant suspenision and open differentials have existed for a long time. A Low speed turn with 1 wheel locked would unevenly wear your tires and all sorts of little things like that.
Wheelbase width and length, and steering column ratios determine a turning radius. Not a simultaneous or independant braking.
What made you think of this anyways?
Idea = major engineering a practicality fail, but it's always worth a try.

Have you been out on the roads before? Women can't handle one brake/one accelerator as it is.
lol
and HORRIBLE IDEA
sounds like you have another lumberg on your hands smurf with the weird automotive thinking
lol

lol you fuck's have never driving anything bigger than a pinto have you?
Not the case. We are just saying that this solution is a poop solution.
'cause too many people would end up in the ditch or into an oncoming bus.

exactly. this is by far the worst idea ever
imagine peggy soccer mom trying to text hubby on her iphone asking him if he wants rice pilaf or broccoli with that piece of salmon she's gonna overcook while he's "working late" fucking his secretary cuz peggy has stopped giving it up since they got married in the meantime try to perform a 5 degree turn on a 4 lane highway

Now, if it was an automated system controlled by the car's processor, and tied in to speed, it could potentially work. Like it would only come in at low speeds and tight-radius turns. But you couldn't give average drivers manual control over it without dire consequences.
Or not.
4 wheel steering never really caught on either, even though several manufacturers tried.

Sounds like someone worked on cars before..
and on some cars, oddly, it seems it didn't improve turning radius at all. IIRC I read a review of a 4ws Prelude that had the same turning circumference as a non-4ws Prelude.
That wasn't what the system was tuned for.
Because the major car companies know that there are female drivers out there as well.
There are two things all men think they're good at. One of them is driving.
I know I'm not a talented driver. I'm easily distracted and I have poor depth perception and peripheral vision. My only advantage over the average schmuck behind the wheel is that I have some idea of what cars are actually capable of doing. I love stepping on the gas around the corner when I see all the cars around me lighting up their brake lights. But I'm more of an okay 8/10ths driver, not one of those car-control geniuses who can go 10/10ths.
And I'm a boring lay.
some easy mods and any vehicles turning radius can be improved. I'm not a mechanic and can't explain it, but read about it on the net. Might be limited to certain vehicles. Mainly involves increasing how far you can turn your tires. Don't want to turn too tight, start eating up a lot of rubber
