Nasa Test Experimental Vehicle that Can Drift, Drive Sideways to Park
While Google and Apple are developing self driving vehicles, Nasa has revealed its vision - and its a lot more fun.
Called the Modular Robotic Vehicle, or MRV, it was developed at NASA's Johnson Space Center to show off the technologies that could let man move across other planets.
On Earth, however, it also has some neat tricks - from the ability to park sideways to being able to spin on the spot, as well as being driven remotely at up to 70mph.
Nasa says the vehicles was buit 'in order to advance technologies that have applications for future vehicles both in space and on Earth.'
'With seating for two people, MRV is a fully electric vehicle well-suited for busy urban environments, it says.
MRV is driven by four independent wheel modules called e-corners.
Each e-corner consists of a redundant steering actuator, a passive trailing arm suspension, an in-wheel propulsion motor, and a motor-driven friction braking system.
Each e-corner can be controlled independently and rotated ±180 degrees about its axis.
