how has quickly reversing to get a parking spot in moving traffic worked for you?





You see, in the new economy you don't even needs stalks!

I simply hit this Autopark button and then my car alternates between inching back & forth to sharply jerking the wheel every which way, and then lands itself in the spot.

All while taking 3x longer than a competent human parallel parker and with heart stopping near-misses of hitting the surround parked cards. Oh and curbs your rims 20% of the time.

Oh and as the human driver you are still responsible to monitor for passing pedestrians and bikers.

If it crashes it's because you weren't monitoring it closely enough. And if you hit the brakes to stop it, you are a wimp who doesn't trust the car which totally would have gotten it right if you let it.


Honestly it works just fine - I live in Seattle and parallel parking is daily for me.

I have yet to hear complaints from someone who's had one for more than a week.

You also didn't answer my question, which makes me think your complaints are secondhand.
