IM Motors doesn't need to worry about parallel parking again

A video clip showcasing a car from SAIC's IM Motors moving sideways into a parking space has captured the attention of online viewers, sparking widespread interest and discussion in China.
IM Motors doesn't need to worry about parallel parking again
A recent video has catapulted IM Motors into the spotlight, showing their vehicle executing a sideways parking maneuver that has astounded netizens. The footage features a woman exiting an IM Motors test vehicle while holding a bouquet. After a gentle push to close the car door, the sedan glides effortlessly sideways into a parking spot. This smooth lateral movement, achieved with the front and rear wheels pointing in different directions, is facilitated by reverse wheel rotation and precise torque control.
The video has gone viral, with viewers commenting, "If it weren't shot from multiple angles, I'd think it was CGI!" and "Parallel parking just got a lot easier - this is a game changer."
The technology driving this innovation is IM Motors' digital chassis. This advanced system manages vehicle movement across three axes at six degrees, allowing the IM L6 (see specs) to parallel park more easily. This simplifies parallel parking and reduces the required parking space length by 11%, making it especially advantageous for novice drivers.
Integral to this capability is the L6's four-wheel steering system, which significantly pivots the rear wheels, enabling a diagonal "crab-walk mode." This system enhances maneuverability with a tight turning radius of just 4.99 metres, easing parking in confined spaces.
This crab-like sideways movement represents a significant leap in automotive technology, offering a new level of convenience and capability. This innovation sets a new benchmark in intelligent driving technology, transforming the ease of parking in tight spots and setting the stage for future advancements in vehicle maneuverability. The exact model in the clip remains to be confirmed. However, it highlights the vehicle's ability to move horizontally, a function expected to be a standout feature in IM's upcoming models.
