The reason the errors are not exactly the same angle is because there is a “non-linearity” between how much the inside tire must turn vs the outside tire. To find Ackerman Error, w first find the turn radius you would get from the existing tire angles. Then we find the ideal tire angles to produce this same turn radius. To do this, the inside tire will have to turn more than the outside tire, so it has a higher error than the outside tire.
