What does the tank turn of a car mean?
1 Answers
The tank turn of a car mimics the way a tank turns, reducing the turning radius. The principle is that by controlling the tracks on both sides to drive in opposite directions, the vehicle can pivot around its center point to achieve an in-place turn. Alternatively, one track can be locked while the other track drives normally, allowing the vehicle to turn around the stationary track as the pivot point. Most traditional fuel-powered cars cannot drive the tires on both sides in opposite directions like a tank. For a traditional fuel-powered car to perform a tank turn, the specific real-world performance is: during the turn, the rear wheel on the turning side is electronically braked and locked, occasionally rotating, while the other three tires rotate normally, completing the turn in this process.
