Also, what's the range like on the sensors? You shouldn't be driving on the left side of the road just because that's where your parking spot is, so I'm wondering if it can find a left side spot from the right side of the road.


I have the self (parallel) park feature on two of my cars and have used it maybe once or twice. Whenever I or my wife has used it, it has just slowed us down more than anything. It also has issues with tighter spots where it would still only take me one or two adjustments to get into. Reality is that in NYC, most spots aren't going to have 30ft of space, so it looks like the system struggles with that.

I guess it helps those who don't know how to parallel park, and in this case, who don't know how to park perpendicularly either, but to me, those "drivers" don't know how to drive properly and shouldn't even be on the road.
