Yet sometimes, the simplest and most brilliant ideas come from the most unexpected places. This video shows a very cool car modification, apparently invented by an unknown but clever Egyptian, that addresses the age-old parallel parking challenge in a very simplistic way. This car seems to effortlessly slip in and out of tight spaces with the help of a [pop-out fifth wheel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel). The additional wheel, centered between the two rear wheels in a left-to-right direction, simply lowers down when its needed to roll the car sideways into a parking spot. Awesome.

I don’t know, but I want one of these! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Parallel-parking Assistance:** The idea of adding innovative devices and mechanisms that will assist drivers in parallel parking. - **Simplistic Car Modifications:** The increasing popularity of simple yet innovative car modifications, such as this additional pop-out wheel. - **User-innovated Solutions:** The rise of solutions created by individuals to address everyday problems and, in turn, disrupt established markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** The invention of additional car mechanisms, devices and tools set to ease driver's experiences and make their life on the road much more comfortable. - **Aftermarket Products Industry:** The proliferation of innovative car modification ideas and the demand for additional customization products and services. - **Sharing Economy Industry:** The opportunity to market user-innovated solutions to various sharing-economy transportation service providers, such as ride-hailing apps. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crabwalk Electric Car Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ioniq-ev.md) - [Tight-Turning Automotive Axles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-axle.md) - [Smart Parking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radar-vision-parking.md) - [Six-Wheel Drive Concept EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-aircraft-carreier.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Maneuverable Electric City Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ree-xbw.md) - [Two-in-One Senior Mobility Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-wheelchair.md) - [Three-Wheel Pod EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one.md)
