In cycling, disk wheels are much more suceptible to cross wind forces. I believe this is the main reason they're banned from group events. You'll generally only find disc wheels on the rear of bikes for cross wind stability reasons. They certainly could 'steer' a bike, but that's mainly down the the steering geometry, which wouldn't be much of an issue on a car.
