Video Shows Chinese EV BYD Parking Sideways; Internet Concerned About Tyres

The BYD Denza N9 was developed by BYD's premium sub-brand Denza in collaboration with Merce.
A video showing a BYD electric vehicle (EV) performing a sideways parking manoeuvre has surfaced on social media, leaving viewers both amazed and concerned. The 15-second clip shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user showed the car — Denza N9 — effortlessly sliding sideways into the tight parallel parking spot on a busy street in China. No reversing or adjusting.
The undated clip, seemingly, highlights what appears to be the Chinese EV manufacturing giant's advanced wheel technology. This feature allows the vehicle to perform a 'crab-walk', with all four wheels rotating and moving the car sideways in a straight line.
Many internet users were impressed with the futuristic tech, but it also sparked a flurry of humorous and sceptical responses.
A user commented that driving manual cars would become an 'outdated skill".

Another user decided to make a rhyme out of it, saying, 'Once in a while stunt. Do it every day and your tires shall go bust."
A third user had a premonition that the tyre industry already loved the parallel parking feature, while a fourth user said, 'This looks like it could go badly wrong if road traction is variable for each wheel."
BYD's Denza N9
The BYD Denza N9 was developed by BYD's premium sub-brand Denza in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. The automobile is slated to compete with high-end EVs and features a sleek design, spacious interiors, and cutting-edge technology.
The N9 also boasts a high-capacity battery, fast charging, and smart cockpit features for modern drivers.
Its advanced parallel parking system allows the vehicle to move sideways thanks to its all-wheel steering function. The feature enables a car to slide into tight parking spots, which could reportedly dramatically improve urban parking convenience.
BYD's system uses precise automated steering, which could cause increased tyre scrubbing during tight manoeuvres. If the feature is used frequently, it can wear the tyres—especially those on the front— faster. It could also lead to uneven tread degradation.
