Hyundai Mobis, the “parts and service” arm for South Korean automaker, is developing the e-Corner System, or better known as Crab Walking, were all four wheels can pivot 90 degrees, allowing the car to drive perfectly sideways into a parking space.
But driving sideways is not all that it can do, this e-corner system is capable of performing four impressive maneuvers, which are pivot turning, diagonal driving, zero turning, and Crab Walking.
1) Pivot Turn – is where the rear wheels turn 90 degrees opposite of each other to swing the back of the vehicle around.
2) Diagonal Driving – is where all four wheels turn the same direction at an angle while still moving forward
3) Zero Turn – is where the front and rear wheels turn opposite of each other, to perform a spin-in-place turn.
4) Crab Walking - is where the wheels turn side on and can drive sideways either way.
This e-Corner System, is considered the key mobility technology needed for autonomous driving cars, which will allowing them to park and turn much easier than they do now.
This technology may look like some futuristic prototype system that we will never see on the roads, but Hyundai Mobis is looking to start taking orders, and wants to achieve a production unit, by 2025.
Thanks for watching.
