A funny video of the crab mode of the new electric Hummers
General Motors unveiled a video that made more than one Internet user smile. This is a demonstration of the famous “CrabWalk” on the GMC Sierra EV and GMC HUMMER EV. And yes, even big guys know how to demonstrate agility… in their own way!
What is “CrabWalk” mode?
“CrabWalk” is a pretty amazing feature that allows these vehicles to move diagonally, a bit like a crab on the beach, but without the risk of ending up as a seafood platter. technology is possible thanks to steerable rear wheels that can move independently of the front wheels.
Why is it funny?
Imagine a behemoth weighing more than two tonnes, sliding sideways through a parking lot or down a narrow road, dodging obstacles with the grace of a ballet dancer. The video shows these enormous vehicles performing maneuvers that seem to defy the laws of physics, and especially automotive logic.
When you see a HUMMER moving sideways, you can’t help but think of a giant crab that has absorbed too much caffeine. It’s both impressive and hilarious, because who would have imagined one day seeing vehicles of this size do sideways steps with so much ease?
Internet users’ reactions
The reactions were not long in coming on social networks. Between animated GIFs of dancing crabs and memes of HUMMER deftly avoiding imaginary obstacles, the online community has found a new source of entertainment. Comments range from “he dances better than me at a wedding” to “he’s ready for a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ audition.”
Conclusion
Beyond the humor, this technology shows General Motors’ commitment to innovation and the desire to adapt impressive features even on large vehicles. “CrabWalk” mode is not only a technical tour de force, it’s also a fun nod to flexibility and adaptability, even in the sometimes too serious world of automobiles.
So the next time you see a HUMMER or Sierra EV, remember: they might just cross the street diagonally, just for fun. And if you feel like laughing, go for it! After all, who said technology has to be boring?
