Hyundai Ioniq 5 Performs 360 Degree Turn and Crab Walk

Presenting the e-Corner System, a ground-breaking innovation installed on a Hyundai Ioniq 5 prototype, which made its debut in the public sphere, showcasing its fascinating capabilities like effortlessly parallel parking in snug spots by manipulating wheel angles and executing a 180-degree pivot to extricate from a cul-de-sac.

Captured on film at Hyundai Mobis' testing facility in Seosan, South Korea, and neighboring thoroughfares, the e-Corner System exhibited an assortment of driving modalities, substantiating its efficacy in real-life situations.

The footage highlights the remarkable "crab walk" feature, where all four wheels swivel 90 degrees, facilitating lateral movement and simplifying the parallel parking conundrum, even in tight quarters.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 prototype is also observed executing a "zero turn", where the front wheels rotate inward while the rear wheels pivot outward, achieving a 360-degree idle spin. This ingenious function allows drivers to effortlessly change the vehicle's orientation within confined spaces with minimal effort.

Moreover, the e-Corner System's "diagonal driving" was demonstrated, a maneuver that rotates all wheels at a 45-degree angle in unison, deftly sidestepping obstructions or other automobiles on the road.

Lastly, the "pivot turn" feature empowers drivers to select a specific point as the central axis for rotating the vehicle, akin to tracing a circle using a compass.

Hyundai Mobis declared that the e-Corner System's triumphant display on real-world streets paves the way for enhancements in dependability. The company envisions this technology as "an indispensable mobility solution for electrification and autonomous driving."

While this cutting-edge innovation has yet to be mass-produced globally, Hyundai Mobis hinted at the possibility of incorporating the e-Corner System into future Hyundai Motor Group vehicles.

I've dreamed of this for about the past 30 years!

[Gillette]

Imagine u honk at that guy and he make a 180 turn...

[supergreta]

People say it is useless or that people that need this, should not drive at all. I disagree. There are more and more cars in the world, especially where I live the streets are not always wide and it is very hard to park in tight spots, so this would be very useful. I dont say you have to use it all the time, but sometimes it can save you a lot of time

[artley]

This is more useful than self driving vehicles.

[NRZC]

Genious!!! The engineers behind this innovational system = 💪

[JaySmurkzTV]

Excellent innovation 👏👏 I dont know how this hasn’t been made before

[travisporter]

The parallel parking conundrum😂😂😂 dude that shits so

[dennox]

The only thing is other drivers won’t be able to get out 😂

[folykoffilanyo]

Super super super.
Quel est le prix ?
The price?

[johngregorbuela]

can it be use in a speed of 180 to 200

[CostiganCreations]

This brought back a vague memory of a movie scene with a small car doing this in some race. Guess it was Fire Ice and dynamite? I skipped through some scenes of the movie and I don’t remember a single thing but that one scene. Maybe because I was 5 when it came out. Trippy none the less. 😂

[cartestgroupoy]

So it's basic version without tire printer still?

[satishbhogle]

If the price tag does not go up by more than 1 lakh Indian rupees to have this car obviously it's a great invention which would help people to park & maneuver their vehicles in a much better manner.😢

[kingrutse]

where can i buy a set off those hub motors?

[chaudcola]

I'm curious how you drive this, will it be user-friendly?

[S.E.C-R]

This is fantastic… why could this not be done on an ICE vehicle, or can it?

[djhd]

it's not new VW Prototypes had it in the 90

[kenny]

those wiers hanging is my main concern. All it takes is for one of those to get caught on something and your car is down 1 wheel or worse a fire. That needs to be fixed

[Cocoboi]

Technique Good for offroading while stuck in slush.

[chasex]

What if it malfunction when at a speed of 100km/hr? Since it has soo many moving components
