IM Motors demonstrates side parking capabilities, moves like a crab
Most modern cars equipped with Level 2 driver assistance systems already have automatic parking assist functions.
However, Chinese car manufacturer IM Motors has showcased a new technology that makes parking much easier.
A video uploaded to social media shows a woman getting out of the car with a bouquet of flowers at a parking spot.
After the driver’s side door is closed, the car maneuvers into the side parking spot.
The crab-like movement is achieved with an all-wheel steering system, where the front and rear wheels turn in different directions, along with precise control of the electric motor’s power to rotate the wheels in opposite directions.
This system also enables IM Motors’ cars to make U-turns with a radius as small as 4.99 meters.
The sedan, fully wrapped in camouflage decals, resembles the midsize sedan model IM L6, which was released in the Chinese market this year.
There is no information available regarding IM Motors’ plans to offer this parking solution to other models in the future.
Someone who loves driving manual cars but prefers riding an automatic scooter. Maybe it's an age thing.
