Abstract

A motor vehicle (10), in particular an autonomous motor vehicle, includes a steering system (38, 30), a plurality of wheels (18, 20) that can be steered by means of the steering system (28, 30), and wheel housings (24, 26) for said wheels (18, 20). The steering system (28, 30) is designed such that the steering system steers the steerable wheels (18, 20) of a wheel pair in question in the same direction, in the case of joint steering to the left or right at a steering angle α up to a limit angle αg defined by the shape of the corresponding wheel housings (24, 26), and in opposite directions, in the case of steering to the left or right at a steering angle α exceeding the limit angle αg.
