Hyundai has announced a new car with a steering system that will allow it to drive sideways like a crab.<\/p>\n
The new e-Corner steering system means each wheel can turn up to 90 degrees independently of each other.<\/p>\n
This is due to the electric motors in the wheel hub containing a steering and suspension system.<\/p>\n

Although the new system is currently in development, motorists could get their hands on the vehicle as early as 2025.<\/p>\n
The unique four-wheel steering offers modes including Crab Driving, Zero Turning, Diagonal Driving and Pivot Turning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crab Driving will turn the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels so that they can move diagonally.<\/p>\n
The experts say this will offer greater performances during off-roading and while parking.<\/p>\n
Hyundai\u2019s e-Corner system mirrors GMC\u2019s Hummer EV\u2019s \u2018Crab Walk\u2019 feature. They also mimicked the Hummer EV\u2019s Diagonal Driving mode.<\/p>\n
