4 wheel steering in action on Cybertruck at Giga Texas!

[Bill906]

And yes, I was starting to picture some really medieval mechanical systems to make 4 wheel steering be mechanically linked and have the ability to disengage

The 1988 Honda Prelude had mechanical 4WS.

The 4WS in the 1988 Honda Prelude was all-mechanical; a shaft transmitted steering angle to a planetary gearbox, which then varied wheel toe-in or toe-cut via the rear tie rods based solely on the steering angle.

Is that meant to be "Steer by Wire"?

My Aunt had that car until 2018.

Does the barbed sort count?

Not really sure what happens when you swerve with AWS but here's what happens without:

Australian tourists… too soon?

(really hope nobody was hurt)

Aussies don't swerve for nothin mate. ;-)

Good deal!!

Oh, they DO swerve, but not like you'd think.......

 

[JBee]

Exactly! That guys on a mission! Swerving the "right" way. ;-)

This is bound to become an Olympic sport at some point

I want it. Do you think it will be standard or an option on the dual motor?

Probably cheaper to make it standard rather than have two drivetrain design/lines.

This is a different clip, same location.


Seems like a pretty significant turning radius improvement at slow speed. That’s a pretty tight donut for a big ass truck.

I was thinking the same thing. I am pretty impressed with those tight turns.

Get the radius inside 21 ft. and I’m onboard!

OMG, it defied my eyes.
