For many novice drivers, although they have passed the side parking project in the subject two exam, in the scene of daily use of cars, side parking is still a headache problem, I believe that many people at this time are thinking that if there is a car that can support lateral movement, it is much more convenient, and this idea is really realized. At the recent CES 2022, Hyundai motor unveiled a concept car that supports lateral movement , the M.Vision.
Hyundai M.Vision concept car
It is reported that the M.Vision concept car has two versions, the M.Vision POP EV with pure electric drive and the M.Vision 2GO with hydrogen energy drive, the wheels of these two models can rotate 90 degrees, can drive sideways or rotate without forward or backward. This also makes it very easy for the car to turn. Hyundai plans to develop a car chassis with four steering modules by 2023, resulting in more small cars that can drive laterally.
"Electronic Corner Module"
Hyundai calls this technology, which enables easy cornering, "electronic corner modules," and each "electronic corner module" combines steering, braking, suspension, and travel capabilities. The company sees the technology as the core technology to create the vehicles of the future, and in increasingly complex urban traffic conditions, vehicles adopting the technology can easily make u-turns on narrow roads. In addition, the "Electronic Corner Module" has no mechanical connection between the individual components, which also provides greater design flexibility when manufacturing vehicles.
