bmw came out with this last year
didnt put it in any cars but they were the first to bring the technology to life
great idea but the more we depend on technology the worse drivers we will have on the roads.

if you cant park your car by your self....dont drive. cool technology, but they taught me how to do the same thing in drivers ed class.

I saw a thing about this technology on another site, and its also rumored that this system will park you in a regular parking spot too...the kind where all you have to do is turn in and pull up.

I agree. I'm all for technology, but driving is something that should still be trusted in the hands of a human.

What if the technology had a problem, a child ran out and the camera didn't notice?

Yep Lexus has been developing that technology for a while now. They will be offering it in the new LS460. It was parrallel and regular park options. It has I dont know how many dozens of sensors, front, rear and side. If I kid runs behind, the car will catch that more so than a human would. It will also have something like 16 airbags, including pedestrian airbag and a 20 or so speaker stereo.

I don't really trust that much technology...not until it's had a few years of use to get all the bugs out at least.

Thats some pretty sweet tech but yeah...um learn how to drive.
Thankfully new drivers will most likely not be driving this new Lex-theyll have to learn the hard way:rofl:
