The variable dynamic testbed vehicle (VDTV) was proposed as having the following major subsystems: Front steer by wire, Rear steer, Front and rear active anti-roll bars, Front and rear controllable shock absorbers, Steering wheel torque control, Throttle by wire, Brake by wire, Throttle feel (throttle pedal force control), Brake feel (brake pedal force control), Anti-lock brake subsystem, Yaw control. Because a potential overrun of cost has been predicted, it was decided to consider elimination of several subsystems, including throttle feel, brake feel and rear steer. As an alternative to complete elimination of rear steer, a reduced cost rear steer subsystem was suggested. This alternative subsystem makes use of the available toe change adjustment, therefore is limited to one to two degrees of rear steer.
