Its the American culture. Its a neat technology for parking into tight spaces which otherwise would be make redundant. Makes more sense than Toyota's parking assist which takes the pride and joy out of parking - people who loves driving loves a set of good parking skills. You are not a total driver if you can win a race but can't park... A self-parking car will appeal to the Americans – they are the very people who invented dish washers. Its the American culture.

Like that also need parking assistance ah? I thought such system only useful when doing parallel parking? The new Toyota Estima is able to do that. And it's only really useful if it can park anywhere. And not in your own garage with mirrors mounted on the wall for crying out loud. Wah lau eh! Like that also need parking assistance ah?

Not really that useful, especially since it needs installation of sensors and all. It'd only be useful if the driver is too wide to get out of the car after parking it.
