A vehicle control system comprising:
- a pair of integration links, each integration link having a slot that is straight over substantially all of the length of the slot, and each integration link being configured to:
- lie in a plane parallel to any flat surface on which a vehicle that incorporates the steering control system is used;
- while lying in the plane and when the vehicle is traveling forward in response to a speed input, move in the plane in response to a steering input corresponding to a zero-radius turn;
- and
- transmit a drive signal that is a product of the steering input and the speed input.
