The age of parallel parking may soon be over thanks to a literal reinvention of the wheel by Canadian man William Liddiard.
“True all-way drive for anything with wheels,” Liddiard says in an online writeup for his successful prototype of “omni-directional” wheels, a specialized rim and tire that can allow any car the ability to move sideways.
The tire is rounded like a donut and sits within a specialized roller-equipped rim that can move the tire horizontally. The result is a wheel that can allow any car to “crab” side to side.
“This is a world first bolt-on application for anything with wheels,” wrote Liddiard. ‘Now you can drive in all directions, and turn on the spot, when needed.”
The London, Ont., inventor exhibited the technology in a YouTube video that has since captured the attention of auto aficionados the world over, garnering more than 1.1 million views.
Entitled “you’ve never seen a car do this…,” the three minute video shows a Toyota Echo sliding around an Ontario driveway as if on a block of ice.
One source described the car as “moonwalking” across the pavement.
The wheels are merely a “proof of concept” prototype, but Liddiard asserts that his design would allow them to be made as durable and safe as standard automotive wheels.
The omni-directional wheel is not a new invention, but it has typically been used only in wheelchairs, robotics and other small-scale applications. Honda Motor Co. did debut an omni-directional wheel at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, but it was as part of a small, Segway-style personal mobility device.
“My wheel can hold ten times more than the other (wheels), while maintaining speed,” Liddiard told Postmedia in an interview earlier this year.
The inventor is currently seeking to sell the technology to a major tire or automotive company.

SEALY, Texas -- An accident involving a bridge and an 18-wheeler has killed a child and seriously injured a woman near Sealy, Texas. Now police are treating the accident as a homicide investigation.
The intersection of Highway 36 at Highway 90 has been shut down after the big rig crashed into an overpass. Part of the highway bridge collapsed, and debris from the damaged bridge hit a car.
Brein Bollock, a 12-year-old who was riding in the front seat of the car, died from her injuries. Her brother, 9-year-old Breanbon Gardner, was in the back seat and was able to get out safely. Leah Bollock, 35, was driving. She was rushed to Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital with a chest injury. She is in critical condition, but authorities say her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Investigators say part of the overpass fell on top of their vehicle after the disposal truck's boom struck the overpass, causing the partial collapse. A TxDOT crane from a nearby construction site was brought in to lift the concrete section off the car.
The truck belongs to Texas Disposal Systems, Inc., out of Buda, Texas. The company is up to date on their inspections and does not have a notable history of accidents. The truck driver, Carl Weige, 72, was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Katy. His condition is not known.
Sealy Police Chief Chris Noble says the truck delivers dumpsters and had just dropped one off, but the boom was still raised. The truck hit the warning device that hangs over the roadway to alert drivers that they may hit the bridge. Noble says the warning indicators were struck, but the truck didn't stop. It hit the bridge so hard that it knocked off a section of concrete and dislodged the steel beam.
Austin County Judge Tim Lapham confirmed this bridge had been struck before -- on a regular basis. The state has it scheduled to be replaced in 2017, with the bidding process about to begin.
Lapham said it has been a problem for a long time. He added that the bridge was hit last year, and he was hoping it would be replaced then, but it wasn't. He told KTRK-TV no serious injuries have occurred in the accidents, to the judge's knowledge, because usually the equipment bears the brunt of the damage.

While waiting for a drive-up ATM to spit out his money late Monday night, the driver of a Chevy Cobalt was startled by an armed man who had snuck up on the driver's-side window, police said.
The robber stuck a handgun in the driver's face, grabbed the cash, and took off, Lt. Dennis Rosenbaum of Northeast Detectives said Tuesday, recounting the 11 p.m. holdup at the Wells Fargo Bank at 7345 Bustleton Ave.
What happened next was a series of events that resulted in police identifying a suspect and the victim, a Portuguese immigrant who has been here about a month, getting his money back.
The driver, who had his wife and their small child in the car, sped off, leaving his debit card in the machine.
"After he leaves," Rosenbaum said, "he decides to go back and look for the debit card."
When he returned to the ATM, he thought, his attacker should be gone.
"He wasn't gone," Rosenbaum said.
The attacker, wearing a hooded sweatshirt pulled tightly around his face and exposing only black sunglasses, popped up again, except this time he had a knife, Rosenbaum said.
The driver drove into the robber, hitting him and tossing him onto Bustleton - but not before he was able to plunge his knife into the windshield.
The driver got out of his car, went through his aggressor's pockets, found his money and debit card, and drove home, Rosenbaum said.
Police found the attacker lying in the road with blood seeping through the top of his hooded sweatshirt around midnight. They also found a large knife nearby, Rosenbaum said.
Police located the Cobalt a quarter-of-a-mile away on Rutland Street near Tyson Avenue, Rosenbaum said, noticed a hole in the windshield, and connected the dots.
The driver, who doesn't speak English, relayed the story to police through an interpreter. Rosenbaum said still images from the bank's surveillance cameras corroborated the immigrant's story.
The attacker, a 49-year-old man, suffered severe head wounds, and will be hospitalized for at least a week, Rosenbaum said. He will be charged with robbery after he's discharged.
And unless additional video evidence shows otherwise, Rosenbaum said, he didn't expect the driver to face charges.
"Seeing as he's the victim of a robbery," Rosenbaum said.
