The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
Does anyone think that's insane? In a bad way....
If you can't parallel park by yourself, perhaps you shouldn't be on the road?

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
I test drove it this weekend, its ok. Your in control of the brake and if you go to fast the computer gives you a warning and stops the car. I did think that it took longer to park than if I parked it myself

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
I thought it was a joke when I saw it. I'm not surprised though.
It's just one more way to allow people to give up the responsibility of being a good driver.

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
What's the difference between a car parking itself, and Cruise Control?
Face it people, it's technology.

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
I can parrell park but I know a lot of people from Long Island that can't. My BIL use to always make fun of me for being from Long Island... until he saw me parrell park and he was like oh crap you are one of the only ones that I've seen do it.
I don't think its a bad thing for that car to have it. I just think..... places like Long Island where you really don't do it often (some places on long island you do but most places not) you get a little rusty

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
This feature scares me. I think so many things can go wrong.
Kristen, you're right there's no difference between this and cruise control. however, I have never used cruise control in my life. I don't like the idea of the car being in control since the computer can malfunction. I would not want the car to park itself, since the computer can malfunction. People can also malfunction, but I would rather do it myself than have a computer do it for me.

seriously- I wish my car parked itself- sometimes it takes me 3 times to get the car parked right- and if someone is watching me- It can take me even longer

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
if you hit a car while the car is parallel parking itself- whose fault is it- you or the cars? ( officer: "where you driving this car? you: "no sir the car was driving it self! ")

I myself think the feature is amazing. When I got my car, I test drove the car that did this, and it was unreal. I would not buy a car just for that feature, and it is something you can turn on and off. I think it's really cool. Cars are going to do alot more than just park themselves in the next 10 years. Remember when cars didnt have a navigation system, and people actually had to figure out where they were going on their own, or use a map?
Technology is amazing, and is being applied to all aspects of life, whether it be for cars, mp3 players, etc.

I agree! : )
Technology is a good thing...no I would not buy a car JUST for this, but if it has advanced technology why not?
PS I learned how to drive-had to parallel park for the test-and I think I can count on two hands how many times I have needed to again after that in 9 years of driving. On LI and in CT where I live now-I just havent needed it...but I am a good driver

Re: The New Lexus that parks your car for you...
I don't think people take driving seriously enough because it's something they do daily. To me, it is a HUGE responsibility and to remove control of things from the driver is wrong.
It's inevitable that features like this will continue and will make it easier and easier for drivers to be lax about their driving skills. But as long as there is a manual alternative to cruise control, parking control, whatever, I'm taking it.
