If u cant f****n park dont drive!

Man that takes ages to park, i could have parked, done me shopping and been home by the time it parked itself

Looks like Lexus is trying to capture the female amd Volvo market. if everything was left to Lexus: life would be pretty boring

I think it's a nice idea, but I have a feeling there are going to be more accidents because people can't figure out how to work it...

its probly got a safety feature that stops it from running into stuff. it would have to have motion sensors to park so unless those sensors malfunctioned i dont think it would run into anything.

this is clearly marketed for old people and women. old people already take twice as long to park so this is like an upgrade for them. and women can cake on another 5 lbs of makeup in the time it takes to park

would be great to use on the drive test... LOL.. but also it looks as if it would take more time to adjust the target frame.. you would have to adjust it so that the angle and size lines up.. by that time you could have just freaking parked

CA DMV does not test on parallel parking anymore. All they test is that you can back up in a straight line. This feature is needed.

Hahaha wow. Thats pretty weak. NY failed me twice on my ****ing roadtest and I only passed the 3rd by a hair(the first bitch failed me mainly because I turned "too wide" and then on the last test some other bitch almost failed me for turinig "too sharp"!). And I am by no means a bad driver (no accidents yet).

By the way does anyone else think its wierd that nobody can ride with you? Mabie they don't want a licensed driver as a witness to them failing you for BULLSHIT reasons? I had to pay each time too.

Yeah thats what makes this more of a useless show off to your friends gimmick then a practical tool (at least with current technology). Its only advantage is that it will park more precisely but in the amount of time you waste you could have corrected your spot a few times anyway.

i agree about the people riding with you. It puts more kids on the road driving, which leads to more accidents and adds to pollution
