Slightly related - when reverse parked and pulling out of a 90 degree parking spot with the wheel turned, is it possible for the rear outside corner of the vehicle to clip an adjacent vehicle? In other words, if you were reverse parked, pulling out turning left, and you plotted the track of the outermost portion of the right rear fender/bumper, would it ever cross the rightmost edges of the wheelbase in the parked position?
- mourner 7y agoGood question! Since the model is reversible (you would have the same trajectory when pulling out of the parking lot when reversing the steps), you can see the effect there — seems like it would cross the rightmost edges but very slightly (like 10cm) in my case, but protrusion would be bigger with a car that has a bigger rear overhang (e.g. sedan rather than hatchback). You can try it out by tweaking the constants in the car specs section.
