The 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2023) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, was a huge success. This year’s CES offered several unusual tech gadgets, making people long for the future of tech! At CES, Hyundai showed a car that can “horizontally move” like a crab and rotate 360 degrees in place!
According to foreign media, Hyundai’s CES “e-Corner” angle wheel steering technology was extensive! Hyundai’s original plant initially showed off this e-Corner technology in 2021. Hyundai Mobis, a Hyundai Group company that develops novel technologies, showed this technology on the M.Vision Pop and M.Vision 2Go concept cars. The original manufacturer offered this technology on the Ioniq 5, a mass-produced 100% electric vehicle.
Concept cars have always been a way for companies and brands to show the public their future design ideas and directions. Because of this, many concept cars are shown with designs and ideas that are out of this world. But when people see a concept car, they only give it a little thought because they don’t know if it will be made in the end.
This time, the original manufacturer, Hyundai, has put this technology on a real demonstration car, the all-electric Ioniq 5, which is already being made in large numbers. It means something different than the first time it was shown to the public in 2021.
Hyundai just released an official CES video showing how the Ioniq 5 with “e-Corner” technology combines electric motors, suspension, brakes, and steering by wire at each of its four corners. This lets each tyre turn 90 degrees outward independently and do things that regular cars can’t do, like Crab Driving, Zero Turn, Diagonal Driving, and Pivot Turn like a push-up machine.
The official statement from Hyundai says that the “e-Corner” system is made for new energy vehicles. It can be used for hybrid/PHEV, BEV, or FCEV cars.
