The video shows how the electric pickup taxis the rear wheels while driving.
The Cybertruck was filmed from a drone in Austin, Texas, on a public road after departing from a charging station. The footage shows the ability of a pickup truck to control the rear wheels. In particular, at the very beginning of the journey, the car makes a sharp turn with a very small turning radius for its dimensions.
Rear wheel steering is a fairly old technology that appeared on Honda and Nissan cars back in the 80s and 90s of the last century. Then it did not take root, but now the function is gaining popularity again, as it can increase the maneuverability of large vehicles.
At the moment, it is not known whether the Cybertruck will have the ability to turn around like a tank. Earlier, Elon Musk said that the electric pickup will be able to drive diagonally. The GMC Hummer is able to move in a similar way, for which it has a special Crab Walk mode.
