My Dream Car: Self-Parking Cars Coming To U.S.
I'll admit - I'm parallel parking challenged.

http://www.local6.com/news/8458908/detail.html

Vehicles that are able to parallel park themselves while drivers sit and relax behind the wheel are coming to the United States, according to a Local 6 News report.

New Toyota hybrid cars are now available in Britain with a $700 "parking assist" option.

Local 6 news showed video of a driver sitting and allowing the car's steering wheel to turn on its own as it pulled into a tight parking spot on a London street. The reporter never touched the wheel as the car parked itself.

With the self-parking assistant, the driver is only responsible for controlling the speed of the car, via the brake pedal.

1. and 3 months after it comes to the US
we will have the first lawsuit over it, after some nut lets it park his car and hits someone.
