Who would have thought?
http://www.local6.com/technology/8458908/detail.html

I am not going to make any sexist or racial comments here. I will let you form your own judgement on who this will help out in the future.

Pretty cool if you ask me. I can see the advertisement now.

"Get 60 miles per gallon and never have to worry about parallel parking again". What a pitch to shitty drivers.

Yea, I don't get it either. I saw some prototypes of this a few years ago, and the only really cool thing was that it'll park your car in a spot tighter than you'd really want to yourself (but probably with as much difficulty).

With that being said, no thanks, I'll spend the money on the wife of the guy that invented this--she's probably pretty lonely!
