Hyundai IONIQ 5, park like a crab thanks to the e-Corner System

You ever pull up to a parking spot and putatively lose all capability to equal demesne? occasionally, no matter how numerous times you swerve in and out, you always end up crooked or on the curb. However, congratulations, If this does not apply to you. For the rest of us, Hyundai has a solution. Maybe. Someday. 

Hyundai Mobis, the corridor division of the carmaker, has introduced a groundbreaking technology called Corner. This innovative system allows all four buses of a vehicle to wheel up to 90 degrees, either inclusively or singly. Unlike traditional vehicles,e-Corner utilizes motors within each wheel, a configuration generally set up in electric kick scooters and bikes but infrequently seen in the automotive assiduity.

At CES 2023 in Las Vegas, Hyundai Mobis unveiled a prototype of the IONIQ 5 equipped with the thee-Corner System. It is a system designed above all to make parking easier, even the most difficult ones, allowing the car to be able to carry out normally impossible maneuvers. Now, the company is back to talking about this system, showing a prototype of electricity equipped with this system.

Thee-Corner System allows each individual wheel to be suitable to steer up to 90 degrees both left and right. still, this isn’t a simple system that allows you to steer the bus. The approach, in fact, is much more sophisticated. Every wheel can count on an intertwined electric motor and on a specific suspense. Also, the boscage pedal and steering wheel aren’t connected directly to the thickets and bus. In fact, thee-Corner System, explains the Korean company, has a drive-by-line system(boscage-by-line and steer-by-line).

One notable capability is “crab driving,” wherein a vehicle can move sideways into a parking space without requiring backing up or turning the steering wheel. Additionally, the technology enables a “zero turn,” enabling the vehicle to execute a U-turn without the need for a wide turning radius, as well as a “pivot turn” where the front-right wheel remains stationary while the rear of the vehicle swings outward.

Hyundai also showcased a “zero turn,” which is basically a U-turn without the U. Once again, the Ioniq 5 swivels its wheels outward, but this time the front and rear wheels spin in opposite directions, making the Ioniq 5 spin in place. Sounds like it could come in handy in a tight parking lot.
