Yes, it is called four wheel steering. Some manufacturers, such as Honda, Mazda, and Nissan added this option to some of their performance vehicles in the late 1980's. GMC added a 4WS option to the Denali pick up and large SUVs in 2002. Most systems had a low speed and a high speed program. At low speeds, the rear wheels would turn in opposite direction to the fronts reducing the turning radius. As the vehicles speed increased the amount of opposite steer slip angle would decrease until around 25-30 mph the rear wheels would be steered in the same direction, though only to small degree, as the fronts. This would improve high speed stability by reducing yaw forces on the vehicle. Despite the advantages, the systems never really caught on. 4WS added cost, weight, and complexity and some drivers didn't like the "feel" of 4WS. Some current BMWs and Nissans have 4WS as part of an optional sport package.
