Hyundai innovates and presents a car that turns into a ‘crab’: it parks sideways and does not need parking

Parking and parking are two activities that can turn even the most experienced driver into a real circus clown.

After all, who has never had trouble trying to get their car into a tight spot or when performing a maneuver worthy of a Formula 1 driver?

The truth is that difficulty parking or parking is a problem that affects many drivers. Some even try to avoid these situations as much as possible.

They claim that it is easier to find a needle in a haystack than an available parking space or a street with no cars parked on either side.

Technology in favor of the driver

That’s why technology has advanced in recent years, and the automotive sector has not been left out. As a result, more and more cars are coming with a series of devices that make life easier for drivers, including those who have difficulty parking.

For example, a popular innovation is the parking sensor. These sensors are usually located at the rear of the vehicle and emit audible signals to indicate their location.

Some more advanced models may even come with additional sensors at the front, helping to avoid collisions during parking maneuvers.

We cannot fail to mention the rear camera, which transmits real-time images of what is behind the car, allowing the driver to have a clearer view of the surrounding environment.

And let’s not forget, one of the most significant advances in automobiles is the parking assistant. In these cases, the driver activates the system, which controls the vehicle’s steering and pedals, performing the maneuver automatically.

All of this, as we have already mentioned, makes life easier for drivers. However, the next big innovation in parking, which Hyundai recently presented, shows how sophisticated and enjoyable parking will be in the near future.

e-Corner System

During the 2023 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show, an annual technology event in Las Vegas, United States, the renowned automotive brand Hyundai presented the world with a revolutionary innovation when it comes to vehicle parking.

Named e-Corner System, the system that Hyundai presented through a demonstration video has the potential to transform the way drivers relate to the parking process.

So, through the use of advanced technology and cutting-edge engineering, the company has managed to develop a system that allows its future cars to drive sideways by turning the wheels at a 90-degree angle. Check it out:

This makes maneuvering in tight spaces much simpler and more agile, as the car is able to move laterally.

This allows the driver to park the vehicle with precision and without the need to perform complex maneuvers or put someone or something at risk.

Now watch the video demonstrating various operating modes of this new system, which many drivers are certainly eagerly awaiting:
