Hyundai Mobis, the Korean brand\u2019s spare parts and autonomous driving division, presented a rather striking in-wheel module fitted on a prototype Ioniq 5 at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Dubbed e-Corner<\/em>, the module incorporates an electric motor, electric damper, brake by wire, and steer by wire, making it a complete package that can be fitted to a huge variety of plug-in vehicles without wasting any space, making life easier for engineers.<\/p>\n

The concept was initially shown in 2018, but now it was fitted in all four corners of a more recognizable Ioniq 5<\/a> EV, and it\u2019s truly impressive what the Korean firm achieved with the prototype.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the video embedded at the top of this page, the purpose-built vehicle can rotate all of its wheels 90 degrees in the same direction, allowing the car to enter and exit a parallel parking space very easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all, as the e-Corner system can basically do every move imaginable. The prototype Ioniq 5 is shown rotating all of its wheels at an angle of roughly 45 degrees, which makes the car spin 360 degrees for a seamless and fast zero-turn function.<\/p>\n
