Hummer crab walk

A pretty beat-up GMC Hummer EV prototype was spotted using its “crab walk” feature in traffic to help change lanes. Last year, GM unveiled the The pickup truck is stacked with a ton of very impressive features, and one of the most impressive of them is “Crab Mode.” Not unlike a crab walking on its sides, the Hummer EV has a four-wheel steering system that enables it to move diagonally in a straight line. GMC described the feature: “Thesupertruck’sindustry-leading Crab Mode 1 feature is enabled by the GMC HUMMER EV’s four-wheel steering capability, allowing it to move in a diagonal direction – functionality that is tailor-made for off-roading customers.” The automaker has released a few teasers of prototypes using the feature, but we now get to see it in the wild for the first time. GM took a Hummer EV pickup prototype to the Poison Spider trail in Moab, Utah, and someone spotted it in traffic on the way back: As you can see, the truck looks like it was put through its pace on the trail, but more interestingly, you can briefly see the truck use its Crab Mode to move lanes or to move within the lane. It might be the very first real driving use case of the Hummer EV’s crab mode. GMC is conducting testing of its Hummer EV prototype for the start of production later this year. They are starting with the “First Edition” of the vehicle starting at over $100,000, but they plan to bring cheaper versions to market with smaller battery packs next year. The cheapest version will start...

CrabWalk † is a unique 4-Wheel Steer mode available on the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup designed to offer greater vehicle maneuverability when you’re off-roading or parking. The feature allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels — allowing your vehicle to move more diagonally. To Engage and Disengage CrabWalk: 1. Center the steering wheel and find the Driver Mode Control dial on the center console. 2. Hold the 4-Wheel Steer button on the left side (9 o’clock) of the Driver Mode Control dial for 6 seconds or until the CrabWalk animation on the central infotainment screen is complete. 3. When the 4-Wheel Steer button is released, HD Surround Vision will display on the central infotainment screen. An orange crab symbol will appear in the lower right corner of the Driver Display to confirm CrabWalk is engaged. a. When CrabWalk is engaged, the rear wheels will turn up to 10 degrees in either direction. 4. To disengage CrabWalk, push the 4-Wheel Steer button again. CrabWalk will disengage automatically if speeds over 25 mph are sustained for more than 10 seconds. Note: CrabWalk can only be activated when the vehicle is at low speeds (up to 1.2 mph).

Car designers and engineers love to compare their new cars to animals, frequently citing creatures like sharks, lions, dinosaurs, hawks and other apex predators as inspiration. But I can't remember the last time a crustacean was used as a reference, especially not proudly. At least, not until the debut of the GMC Hummer EV. One of the most highly touted features of the new electric truck is called CrabWalk, and it's something never seen on a production vehicle before. Higher-end versions of the Hummer EV get a fancy four-wheel steering that can be controlled by the driver, with the rear wheels able to turn either in or out of phase with the fronts. This helps with maneuverability off-road and in tight parking spaces, as well as making the truck more stable during lane changes. But then there's CrabWalk mode, which you can select through the Hummer's infotainment system. It is what it probably sounds like: All four wheels turn at the same angle by up to 10 degrees, allowing the Hummer to literally drive diagonally like a crab. As you can see from the video at the top of the story it looks very strange and is sure to feel pretty eerie. CrabWalk only works at low speeds, which means you probably won't be able to combine it with WTF mode to launch from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds diagonally, sadly. +56 more See all photos While it seems gimmicky at first, CrabWalk looks more useful than you might think.
