GMC's new electric SUV, Hummer, which is a beast in size and speed, can spin all four wheels and walk like a crab.
The technology comes as part of the automaker's CrabWalk system, introduced with the EV Pickup, and now we know the feature will be available on the all-wheel drive variants of both vehicles.

GMC says the CrabWalk wheel system – which allows all four wheels to turn diagonally up to 10 degrees at low speeds – will complement the Extract feature, which uses air suspension to lift the entire vehicle six inches off the ground to overcome large obstacles.
The recent unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV SUV also revealed a number of useful technologies to help conquer the unique challenges posed by off-road driving.

The fully electric car will have the option of up to 17 different auxiliary cameras, placed in all sorts of strange places.
In addition to those you would expect to find at the rear and front of the vehicle, the Hummer EV SUV will feature sensors on the underside and wheels for improved understanding of the driver's surroundings.

These cameras will also be equipped with their own automatic washers, as their locations mean they will likely get dirty quickly and no one wants to crawl under the Hummer to wash them.
Both the SUV and Pickup variants will feature the same 13.4-inch touchscreen as part of their respective center consoles.
Those with the myGMC app will be able to view satellite mapping routes on these screens for a better view of their route.
GMC says its satellite system will also be capable of telling the driver how much power will be required on a particular path.
