Weak. Fax me when you can pull up to the parking lot, get out, tell it to go find a spot, and walk away.

Hey Sunny. Does your Civic have Honda Smart Parking Assist?

No, but in addition to my robot that helps around the house, I just got the new robot lawnmower too, so I can fire my landscaping guy and I spend more time doing things I enjoy, like riding around in my 2015 NSX.

Imagine driving behind that car for 10 mins trying to look for a spot yourself in a parking lot. Can think of a few (maybe more than just a few) problems with that car auto parking like sniping a spot that another car is waiting for, hitting small objects like motorcycles parked far in the spot, hitting pedestrians, the "auto pick up" stopping in the middle of the road waiting for you while blocking everyone, etc...
Funniest situation would be 2 auto parking cars head to head with each other cause some idiot decided to make their own spot thus reducing the lane space to 1 making the cars wait for each other to move.

what if it parked itself in disabled parking spot?? Also you don't want to lose your smart phone!! And the fun part will be someone hacking this thing. Just send the signal and car will present it self.
I would like to see a demo of this thing on boxing day trying to park itself.

What is wrong with car manufacturers? **** like this promotes poor driving abilities, and the acceptance of poor driving abilities. Rather than recognizing one's inability to park well, and seek help to learn to park, people can now buy cars that park for them.
I have often said, if you can't park it, anywhere anytime, you shouldn't be allowed to drive it.
If there are two spots open and I have to park on a street, whenever possiible, I parallel park my 15 passenger van towing an enclosed trailer.
I forced my wife to reverse stall park her vehicles for years, and now she does it second nature. She even has no troubles parking her school bus now, and never ever pulls forward into a driveway or parking spot. It's funny that here in Canada, people don't even seem to know that parking nose first into a driveway or parking spot isn't a very good way to park. It forces the driver to pull out onto a street with possible traffic on it, just to avoid backing into an empty driveway, with no traffic in it.

Does it keep driving if it has a flat tire?
Does it start calling the Police and honking it's horn and flashing the lights when it is trapped?
I can see people having fun with these cars. Oh look, nobody in there let's just stand in front of it.
Or even better, your car hit me and the Judge will have to take their word for it because you were not there.:lmao:

first thought that came to my mind
I actually like this idea. In an ideal world, people would learn to drive and park, but lets be honest, that world doesn't exist, and there currently isn't a cure for stupid. Having a car that can park itself well would prevent parking lot accidents, and since the person gets out before parking, door dings would become a thing of the past. Although there are no statistics (I assume) to support the idea that if you can't park your car, you probably don't care much about the condition of other people's cars, I do suspect there is a strong positive correlation.
