How the automobile differential allows a vehicle to turn a corner while keeping the wheels from skidding.

Differential steering is the means of steering a land vehicle by applying more or less drive torque to one side of the vehicle than the other. Differential steering is the primary means of steering tracked vehicles, such as tanks and bulldozers, is also used in certain wheeled vehicles commonly known as skid-steer, and even implemented in some automobiles, where it is called torque vectoring, to augment steering by changing wheel direction relative to the vehicle. Differential steering is distinct from torque steer, which is usually considered a negative side effect of drive-train design choices.

I've seen some of those old videos, not sure about that one, but those are all very well done.

Great simple explanation of how it works. Almost anyone could understand the logic and explanation

Now can that guy tell me how the cloud works?

That video is from 1937, but that exact same design is still in vehicles built today. Even front wheel drive cars.
