Suspension theory

I've read here that while perfectly aligned wheels front and back might be good for FE, they generally make for a squirrelly-handling car.

Am I remembering correctly, that a car will generally track straight, but will squirrel in turns, or is it that the car won't track straight with perfect alignment?

What I'm brain-storming here, is for my future not-even-on-the-drawing-board electric car, a suspension system wherein all adjustable elements, (toe/camber/caster), are controlled with stepper motors by a computer, to maximize efficiency in straight line AND maximize stability when making the tires screech.

Compromise is such a filthy concept.
