I saw this in a commercial this morning and my future son in law were discussing it.

After the first of the year he is going to get one. He loves the styling of the car and all the cool technology.
An incredible car.

It's very nice. Designed to compete against the 7 series

By the time the rear camera scouts out the situation and determines the best way to park it, then the spot will already be taken by someone else :rofl:

:rofl:

So true Cliff

That is wild.

I think Benz is coming out with it as well.

Sure the lexus can parallel park, but can it do this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfUBTOTp2Fw

Thanks for the links Patrick

Pretty inventive stuff

But why would you pay thousands of dollars to get out the car just so the car can park itself. People with money, sheesh...

If you have the money you buy the toys

This is the kind of "innovation" that will put more poor drivers on the road. Learning to parallel park well, whether you need to to do it or not, makes you a better driver more likely to be able to handle your vehicle in more situations. Hopefully this is just a gimic that will just fade away!

The cars are getting so long and expensive that I would hate to try to parallel park one too.

And then, one day it has a short circuit and floors the gas and blasts right into your living room!

Looks like Cadillac and Benz are following behind.

They are going to be doing this as well.

I guess its good if you are older and have a problem with parallel parking.
