Rear-wheel is even more unstable. Even the Ackerman mechanism could not stabilize rear wheel steering at speed. This time, use forklifts as an example. Very manueverable at low speed but they wander all over the place at speed.

Front-wheel steering with the Ackerman linkage rules for a reason.

I hate to see you beating your brains out re-inventing steering, when you could be bearing down on what otherwise looks like a good design.

Rear wheel drive is OK.
