What is the meaning of tank turn?

[SanGabriela]

Tank turn, as the name suggests, means that after activation, it mimics the turning style of a tank, reducing the turning radius. The vehicle will control the left or right rear wheel to minimize the turning radius, ensuring it can change direction on very narrow roads. Below is relevant information about tank turn: 1. The principle is that by controlling the tracks on both sides to drive in opposite directions, the tank can pivot around its center as the origin point, achieving an in-place turn. Alternatively, by locking one track while the other continues to drive normally, the tank can complete the turn around the single track as the pivot point. 2. Due to mechanical design limitations, most traditional fuel-powered vehicles cannot drive the tires on both sides in opposite directions like a tank, nor can they achieve sharp-angle turns as easily as a hand tractor. Therefore, enabling a traditional fuel-powered vehicle to perform a "tank turn" is relatively complicated. In practical terms, during the turn, the corresponding rear wheel on the turning side will be locked by electronic braking, occasionally rotating, while the other three wheels continue to turn normally, completing the turn in this process.
