It is the baptism of blood that all drivers have sooner or later parked a car in a narrow place that is difficult to enter. it doesn’t matter if you have TeslaParking in a row to install a Mustang or a Hyundai, reverse and mirrors is a task that requires skill and great calculation of spaces.
Throughout this time the automotive industry has made great strides in making work convenient enough. Many of the more accessible range of cars already integrate proximity sensors, so that it is possible to maneuver with greater precision.
In some cases, vehicles also integrate a series of cameras connected to the dashboard’s touch screen to display an interface as if it were a video game, allowing the car to be operated to fit that narrow space. Is.
But it is always possible to go further and now there is a huge technological advance that will make the complex maneuvers of parking in a row even easier.
ZF Easyturn: the European solution to hassle-free parking
german company ZF Friedrichshafen AG In recent days, a video has gone viral showing his most recent technical creation, the ZF Easyturn in action.
This invention basically involved the integration of a special axis that made it possible to move the wheels to 80 degree, Better see it in action:
As we can see, the EasyTurn system retains all the grace of its operation in the various sensors that can help the driver to maneuver without so many complications during parking.
But at the core of its technology is the axle that allows the front wheels to be swung 80 degrees so that turns in reverse are more closed, thereby facilitating parking.
EasyTurn allows the vehicle to adapt to the turning needs based on speed and available space to fit the narrow space.
In addition, upon reaching a certain speed, the wheels change direction, making the task of parking much easier in an urban environment with asphalt floors and a steady incline.
At present the ZF Easyturn technology is only applicable in front-wheel drive vehicles, where mechanical adaptation to the use of this axle is minimal.
It should be noted that in the long term it is intended to be applied to the rear axle, but to achieve this, the existence of such projects as Tesla Motors Cybertruck will be required.
