Why not cars which have a wheel type steering, requiring
many rotations to be made to turn the car, be replaced with
a handle type steering, like the one provided in a
autorick shaw for quicker turn?

Answer / arjun
wheel types steering is used because in slow speed handle r
more efficient to turn the vehicle but
1)in high speed the centre of gravity is shifted from its
point & vehicles balance is poor
2)due to its mechanism it takes more effort to turn the vehicle.
3) tyre life would shorter

Answer / anonymous
Load on front wheel of auto is far lesser than the load on front wheels of a car so cars need an effort reduction which is achieved by a rack and a pinion.
Also at high speed even if the steering requires lesser effort, it becomes more responsive and a jerk to a handle (if used) can destablize the trajectory of motion resulting into an accident.

Answer / naveen
Auto has only a single tyre and it can be turned through a handle type steering whereas Cars, buses and other four wheelers its impossible to turn two front wheels with a handle type steering, it can turned only with wheel type steering as it can control two front wheels
