Hyundai Mobis has just released a demo car showcasing the e-Corner system, which, by the looks of it, will revolutionise parking – and possibly help those of us who never quite got the hang of parallel parking.
The e-Corner System technology enables all four wheels of a vehicle to turn 90 degrees and thus allow the car to perform parallel parking in any tight space.
‘It rotates the front wheels inside while rear wheels turn outside to perform a 360-degree idle turn and make a 180-degree turn to retreat from a dead end’, Interesting Engineering state to describe the operations of the tech.
Such technology has never been mass produced anywhere in the world and is considered the key mobility technology for ‘electrification and autonomous driving’.
I mean, just look at the wheels turning and picture such vehicles parallel parking across Maltese roads. Such parking is called ‘crab driving’, where all four wheels turn perpendicular to the curb.
