I've wondered about that aspect myself with my own paper sketches. I don't know if the more common electronic/electric steering would be any easier or just a different set of problems.
One thing I find interesting is that the "Pill Bug" only slightly narrowed it's rear track.

You have to really look to see it.
Other cars with narrower rear tracks:
Porsche 356
EV-1 Chevy Impact
Gen-1 Honda Insight
(not a complete list...........)

We can add to the list, just mentioning it as excessive rear taper isn't going to fit the aero-template in plan, yes there is a plan view to the aero-template most often ignored.
