Auto-parallel parking

Has anyone else seen all the commercials for the new Lexus that parallel parks itself? Seems like a pretty good idea for those who can't park well (most people it seems like).

Anyone know how it works, does it put the car in reverse, park, etc for you automatically?

Re: Auto-parallel parking

Actually my buddy who works at lexus told me about it. It controls the steering, and I believe you control the brake. It also has a brake hold button, so when you stop at a light, you hit the button, and it holds the brakes so you can rest your foot, or rummage through the shit in the backseat if you so choose.

Re: Auto-parallel parking

I think its kinda cool, I am sure a lot of people said this same stuff about cruise-control when that was first introduced....along with power steering, power brakes, the invention of seat belts, etc.

I like the idea of adaptive cruise control better.

Re: Auto-parallel parking

Very interesting.... I was going to say something about this car. But was to lazy to do that.

Don't worry we going to hear about people hitting cars now while parking. It be great.
