Why not cars which have a wheel type steering, requiring
many rotations to be made to turn the car, be replaced with
a handle type steering, like the one provided in a
autorick shaw for quicker turn?

Answer / arjun
wheel types steering is used because in slow speed handle r
more efficient to turn the vehicle but
1)in high speed the centre of gravity is shifted from its
point & vehicles balance is poor
2)due to its mechanism it takes more effort to turn the vehicle.
3) tyre life would shorter

Load on front wheel of auto is far lesser than the load on front wheels of a car so cars need an effort reduction which is achieved by a rack and a pinion.
Also at high speed even if the steering requires lesser effort, it becomes more responsive and a jerk to a handle (if used) can destablize the trajectory of motion resulting into an accident.

Answer / naveen
Auto has only a single tyre and it can be turned through a handle type steering whereas Cars, buses and other four wheelers its impossible to turn two front wheels with a handle type steering, it can turned only with wheel type steering as it can control two front wheels
