You've not sailed a boat? Sail boats can head into the wind, up to about 40 degrees of true wind direction. When I sailed a 14 foot catamaran, a very long time ago, the cat was fastest with wind at right-angles to my direction of travel, what is called a beam reach.
The trouble with a road vehicle though, is that the direction of travel is constrained by the road, so you can't tack for example.
