Siemens VDO eCorner Project:
 |
||
Siemens VDO engineers are working on plans to integrate the drivetrain, steering, shock absorbers and brakes directly into the wheels of future cars. This concept, called eCorner, is the basis for the ecological "Drive-by-Wire" automobiles, which will become a common sight on roads in 15 years. eCorner replaces the conventional wheel suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers, mechanical steering, hydraulic brakes and, above all, conventional internal combustion engines. For car owners, eCorner translates into improved fuel mileage, more safety and greater convenience. eCorner provides designers with all new freedom to create future cars with an electric drivetrain and electronic control.

I like it because now you can totaly get away from the traditional suspention and have total wheel drive control. All 4 wheels can turn and parallel parking can now become perpendicular parking. U turns can become O turns and lane changes can be parallel moves so the car won't roll when you swerve. 4 wheel steering is real neet for those that have a difficult time in parking lots. You could make an all in one vehical, offroader with rockcrawler susp. + luxuary car all in one!!! Keep it up.Thanx

People don't like what they're not used to.Plus, it's all about structure. It adds strength and crash resistance. If you look, people are in what looks like a bubble.

And that's a good thing?

The 21st.Yeah.We could use magnetics. It's proven to work, but... not knowing the numbers, the main problems would be power to the EM's or relatively expensive and potentially interfering magnets jacking up prices...

Remember the engine part that's in there?
