A vehicle steering assembly and method for steering a vehicle includes an array of electromagnets fixed relative to the vehicle, and a charged plate that is moveable with respect to the array and connected to a wheel that determines the travel direction of the vehicle. When activated, the electromagnets produce a charge that is opposite that of the charged plate, thus attracting the charged plate. The electromagnets are selectively activated to move a centroid of a charged region about the array to thereby move the charged plate in a desired direction. Movement of the charged plate causes a corresponding movement of the wheel to which it is connected. Movement of the wheel thus establishes a travel direction for the vehicle.
