How precise does the distance measuring have to be?

Why not use the rotation sensor for the steering position, and use the
touch sensor in an arrangement similar to a land-measuring wheel (one
click equals x distance) for the distance?

That'd be my guess. :)

Remember to gear down so the axel sets off the sensor say x times per wheel
rotation.  You should not lose any precision unless you have a poor tapping
mechanism.  However, you will only have accuracy as good as the touch sensor can
go on/off.  Going too fast may cause you to lose taps and some precision.
