If able bodied people use it, they'll just get lazier and lazier. Next thing you know we would not even have to wipe our own buttocks with tissue paper because a contraption would do it for us.

I know some of the newbies and ladies driver who can park 'neatly' like they have been driving for 10 years. And some others whom I considered veteran drivers can't even park properly in L parking! Most people can't calculate well the size of their car and the surrounding. Have you guys ever driven (at night) behind someone who keep swerving to left everytime oncoming traffic pass you by? Or saw a Kancil took the entire right lane to take over an EX5? You know, those people who think they are driving an MPV when they are actually driving a K-car? alexallied, they are already testing it. I saw it in Discovery Channel sometimes last year. chris, not necessarily newbie or lady driver.
