Vehicles that "crab" walk seem needless and something that wll break

I thought the same thing. Unless they can parallel park, they're pointless.

GMC Denali had this 20 years ago

Turning the wheels in the same direction enables crab walk. Crab walk is a "look what I can do" feature that will probably never get used, but since it is available, why not enable it.

More useless shite to run vehicle prices up, huh?

The hummer with 4 wheel steering has a better turning radius than a tesla model 3 as well as most GM vehicles.

It's been around for at least 25 years or maybe longer, just not on many cars. Any car that has 4 wheel steering did that. It does reduce tire scrub, particularly when changing lanes, and allows for tighter cornering.

It's dumb. Features you don't need that create repair bills you don't want in a few years.

They had it in the 1990's on a Denali, also I think the top spec 300zx and 3000gt both had it. My dad had a car with it and it was supposed to make handling so much better. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't, I never drove that car. But you could put it up against a Vette or Supra that could hang without the idiotic steering gimmick.

I don’t understand why so many people have such trouble parallel parking. I had to know how to do it to get a driver’s license back in the 80s

Ruston still ha it all over downtown. I still have to do it taking my parents to their dentist, taking my dad to his barber and sometimes when we vote.
