Watch This Car Drive Sideways on Crazy New Wheels
Have trouble parallel parking? This new invention could work well for you.
Essentially, the wheels on this Toyota Echo have been turned into small treadmills, allowing the car to move from side to side or to rotate on the spot.
YouTube user William Liddiard uploaded the video in May of 2016, claiming that this is the first bolt-on omni-capable wheel that doesn’t need a specially designed car to operate. Liddiard also claims that the wheels will run in all weather and road conditions, saying that they “can take a beating.”
Although the tires appear to be smooth in the video, Liddiard says that they have the same siping, grooves, and rubber compound as a standard car tire.
