Amazing inventions that will change the auto industry

After moving forward and backward, Toyota is upending the industry with an invention that allows the driver to move sideways and spin around

There are no problems in parking the car.. Toyota’s invention gives your car the ability to walk right and left, such as forward and backward, and turn around itself in the same place.

We’ve seen several companies aggressively trying to make a wheel-steering system that allows the car to go sideways, right and left, of course not turning, I mean cars going all right or all left, and since we saw the crab walking on the GMC Hummer EV, we were amazed. This is a new technology that allows you to park the car sideways. But this is not a feature that will be exclusive to GMC. Where Tesla says its Cybertruck has similar technology,

And the same lateral movement that the Chevy Silverado electric car will have, too. The Rivian is also heading towards this goal, but in a slightly different way, with a feature called “Tank Turn”, although this is difficult to master. In fact, the parking problems and the movement of the car was a concern for many, and this is illustrated in the following video.

But while all of these electric trucks have slightly different ways of achieving similar results, Toyota appears to be quietly working on its own technology that will eliminate both Crab Walk and Tank Turn and revolutionize mobility as we know it.

CarBuzz has announced that it has discovered patent documents filed with the USPTO for a feature that allows independent steering of each wheel “at about 90 degrees or greater angles.” It is an invention that will turn the world of cars and change the entire industry. Toyota Ireland has provided us with a video that illustrates the theory of the Japanese mother-manufacturer that was put into the RAV, and here is the video.

The car of the future is moving in all directions

This invention would allow the vehicle to access two unique wheel position configurations. The first would allow all four wheels to rotate in the opposite direction, allowing the vehicle to go “straight in a direction that intersects with the forward and backward”, or simply, allowing the vehicle to attack sideways or at an angle. This means that when you find a place the size of the car in millimeters, you will move the cars straight but sideways to enter the car safely, which means that the car will move in the four directions without effort.

The second position will allow the car to “rotate around a vertical axis passing through a central part of the car body”. This is a patented talk for instant cornering performance. This can be done by rotating each wheel in the opposite direction to the adjacent wheel as shown in the diagrams from the patent filing. It simply means that you can turn around yourself and the car in the same place to change direction as you like.

The patent suggests that the wheels will extend even out of the body during such maneuvers so that each wheel can be independently monitored. With Toyota’s off-road capability already a legend, we expect the Japanese automaker to have pioneered an innovation that outperforms anything electric vehicle manufacturers have to offer.

This patent is almost certainly intended for an electric vehicle rather than an internal combustion vehicle.

With the ability to put individual motors on each wheel, an EV would make more sense for a four-wheel independent steering system. But what could happen? Just a couple of months ago, Toyota revealed its plans for an electric truck, and if it looks as good as the recently revealed Toyota Tundra, we could be on our way off-road. Alternatively, this type of technology could be applied to a small city car to make parking and navigating in confined spaces easy.

As for when we can expect this to debut in Toyota’s production, we have no idea, but the patent gives us hope that the wait won’t be too long. While the patent was only approved on September 21, 2021, and the application was submitted in August of 2019. So there’s a good chance that Toyota is already very far off the development path.

Japanese desperate attempts and successive inventions

It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise that one of the most controversial auto body technologies originated in Japan , a country whose residents seem to have been born fond of high-tech gadgets and devices.

The active rear-wheel steering was introduced in 1985. Fittingly, it debuted in the Nissan R31 Skyline, a car synonymous with innovation. However, this technology was popularized by the 1987 Honda Prelude, which has been sold globally.

The American magazine Road & Track highlighted the benefits of the active steering of the four wheels. In 1987, it took several long years of research, and car manufacturers are trying to access this new technology, and many companies followed in the footsteps of Honda, Chevrolet, Ferrari and Porsche all tried to reach this technology. And overcoming the humble Japanese Japanese monster over many of them. And Toyota continued to work in silence until it presented its invention that would overturn the future and shape of the automotive industry in the world.
