So we know there will be all-wheel steering.
We also know it will crab walk.
And sounds like it will do the equivalent but better of a tank turn.
So now my question is...
How do we tell it to do each of these? Some of it can be automatic I would imagine. For instance, the crab-walk while driving the interstate and changing lanes.
But if I am on an off-road trail and want to do a tank turn to reverse course, how do I tell it to do that?
Or if I am going up a rocky embankment and want to crab-walk a bit to the side to avoid a boulder without having to lean the vehicle to the side, what do I do?
Also, if the answer to any of this is that I have to push buttons on the center console, then it will be much less usable in high tension or quick reaction driving environments.
So, does anyone know how similar functions have been implemented in the past? How does Rivian control it? How did the older 4-wheel steering mechanical systems do it?
