You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

i think its kinda neet..... it make it so people can get it right the first time instead of taking 30 mins to park.
the only problem i see it what if the park space is tight and you've got to run up and over the curb, will the system tell you the place is too small? or will it just hit the other cars? what happens when that :pokinit: goes off on the freeway, does it try to parrell park itself going 70MPH, now that would be some funny stuff.

It can't hit other cars, it has sensors that will either stop it or make it steer away.  I don't think it'll go over curbs either, but that's just speculation on my part.  I'm still stradling the fence on this one, not sure how I really feel about it.  It's lexus, so I know they didn't just make the parts a week ago and market it this week, but I'm always skeptical about new technology.
