Crab walk car

Cya, parallel parking! Cool video shows how Hyundai's new 'crab driving' electric car drives sideways into a tight spot with autopilot • Hyundai is working on tech that will let anyone parallel park • The company added motors to all four wheels, letting them turn sideways • By Updated: 15:56 BST, 10 May 2023 Hyundai is testing new technology that parallels parks cars like a pro. The South Korean carmaker debuted its e-Corner System that lets anyone to parallel park by turning wheels 90 degrees and activating a 'crab walk' into the space. The wheels can also drive diagonally at a 45-degree angle, allowing for high-speed quick changes in direction. Hyundai debuted its e-Corner System that lets anyone to parallel park by turning wheels 90 degrees and activating a 'crab walk' into the space Hyundai shared a demonstration video captured at its Mobis Proving Ground, Seosan and on adjacent roads to showcase a variety of driving modes. The technology was designed to help anyone parallel park - a feat needed to obtain a US driver's license. The crab-walking feature appears to be seamless - rotating the wheels simultaneously without causing stress on the brake lines. The wheels will then revert back to the traditional position once the car has been parked. However, Hyundai notes that all the wheels can move independently for traditional turns because each one has its own motor. And the vehicle can also perform a perfect 360-degree turn without taking up more room than the size of th...

Release date: Out now Price: $105,595 Power: 3 motors, AWD Battery range: 350 miles 0 to 60 mph: 3.0 seconds Smarts: Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and GM's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving mode The GMC Hummer EV Edition1 is reinventing one of the most controversial, and unique-looking, vehicles to have hit the road in the past 25 years. The original gasoline-powered Hummer split opinions, with some seeing it as a symbol of excess and an environmental nightmare, while others saw it as an incredible off-roader that would make Mad Max proud. But that car was killed off in 2010, and the Hummer has experienced an all-electric rebirth. The Hummer EV Edition1 hit the roads last year, and comes with all the bells and whistles GMC could come up with. It's also a symbol of excess, and the size means it's possibly the least efficient EV around. But we still have great on- and off-road capabilities, a giant battery, and more tech than you can shake a stick at. Here's everything you need to know about the GMC Hummer EV1, and the rest of the Hummer EVs set to arrive over the next couple of years. Next is the EV3X for just under $100,000. It's slated to come out in the fall of 2022, will have a 350 mile range and about 800 hp. That will be followed by the EV2X for just under $90,000, and the EV2 for just under $80,000. Both come with 2 motors, have 625 hp, and a range of 300 miles. However, you'll have to be patient. The EV2X won't appear until 2023 and the EV2 arrives in 2024 — provi...

The e-Corner technology is being demostrated on a Hyundai Ioniq 5 car. Photograph: Hyundai South Korean automotive company Hyundai has released new footage showcasing the capabilities of its e-Corner System, which enables drivers to maneuver more effectively as the test vehicle’s wheels can turn up to 90 degrees. In this case, the technology was used in an Ioniq 5 prototype. The system combines steering, braking, suspension, and drive systems on each wheel. Hyundai is planning to bring this technology to its future road cars to improve their maneuverability and introduce new features. The system features a “Crab Mode” function that allows the vehicle to move sideways without parallel parking, making it easier to park in tight spaces. The e-Corner system also has a “Zero Turn” function that enables the wheels to turn independently, allowing the car to spin 360 degrees on the spot. Additionally, the technology includes a “Pivot Turn” function that allows the rear wheels to spin the car’s rear around while the front wheels remain in place. There is also a “Diagonal Driving” mode that works in a similar way to GMC’s crab walk function. The e-Corner System is part of Hyundai’s vision of reaching new heights as a mobility platform provider by securing different types of customized mobility solutions for autonomous driving and PBVs. Although the system is not yet ready for production, Hyundai aims to introduce it to its production vehicles in the future. According to Cheon Jae-se...

Experience the Next Level Technology, the e-Corner System, Developed by Hyundai Mobis In a demonstration video, the system is shown on an Ioniq 5 doing four impressive maneuvers. The key to the system is the steering angle, which allows for all four wheels to be turned 90 degrees. The first maneuver shown is a crab walk from left to right. The second maneuver is a zero turn, in which the front and rear wheels turn opposite of each other — the front wheels turn in towards each other while the rear wheels turn outward away from each other — to perform a perfect, spin-in-place turn. The next maneuver is a diagonal turn in which all four wheels turn the same direction at an angle, almost like a faster form of crab walking. The final maneuver is a pivot turn. This has the rear wheels turn 90 degrees opposite of each other to swing the back of the vehicle around. Screenshot: Hyundai Mobis YouTube While Hyundai hasn’t said whether or not it plans to bring this brilliant piece of tech into production, nor has the company released any technical details on it, a close inspection of the video highlights something interesting. Mainly, each wheel seems to be powered by what looks to be its own motor or steering system, allowing for independent movement of each wheel. Packard Self-Parking Car - 1933 While it would be great to have this tech on a production vehicle, it’s not the first time that something like this has been thought of. In the 1930s, Packard created a fifth wheel concept v...
