    Default New Lexus Parks Itself???

    Has anyone seen the commercial for this yet? The new Lexus LS has a feature tht lets the Lexus parallel park itself with only brake control by the driver.



    "Using the available navigation screen, the Advance Parking Guidance System allows you to select icons to choose whether to parallel park or back into a space. Align the vehicle, press a button on the screen, put the vehicle in reverse, then simply remove your hands from the steering wheel and regulate the vehicle’s speed by using the brake."




    You can view the demo here:



    What will they think of next?

    That wouldn't work in DC. Trying to parallel park downtown takes a human touch (for giving the finger to people with little ass cars who take your fucking spot right as you are about to back into it).

    I remember reading something about that in a "test" mode 4 or 5 years ago. It'll probably go over as well as "four-wheel steering"... great idea, but nobody really needs/uses it

    Personally, I'd be afraid to use it. I admit my depth perception sucks and I have a hard time parallel parking, but to trust a computer chip?? I don't think so.

    Last time I was in DC, it took a military grade firearm to secure a parking spot in general.

    I saw this in the news this morning. I wouldn't buy it though, bc it would be a waste since I know how to park. But I do think it's a neato idea for those who can't park for shit.

    Corinthians 18:26 "And God said to the people- listen to thy words- there cometh a day when ye women will fill thy bosoms with bags of the sea to enhance thy beauty- but hear this- it is a desecration of the holy temple that is your body"


    I just noticed your signature.... There is no Corinthians 18... unless we're talking about some strange biblical version I'm not aware of.

    Ah okay. I thought it might be some crazy depraved shit from those "additonal books of the bible" that you can find in certain new age religions (which will remain nameless so I avoid bitchy attacks).

    I'm down with this...
    I'm not a bad parallel parker but there are times when you just don't have time to make a mistake and stop all the fuckin traffic.

    As far as doubting it. I don't think they would attempt to bring it out to the market if it isn't capable of doing what it claims. <--That would be ridiculous and I just can't see a person unintelligent enough to push it, if it doesn't work.
