    It seems like a waste of time to me - just something else to go wrong.

    If you can't park your car you should not be driving it.

    I will most probably be keeping the car till its about 3 years old so will be under warranty till I sell it.

    If you are concerned it could cause issues within the next 2 1/2 years why buy the car? After that, if you are trading it in, why do you care?

    Self parking is one of those things that never needed to be invented IMO.

    Yeah - just like indicators - who needs 'em, when you can wave/waggle your arm out the window.

    And who needs a heater - you can wear an extra jacket.

    And as for electric windows - just something else to go wrong - my 1982 BMW has them - they're bound to go wrong sometime soon - they're 32 years old now for God's sake.

    All these 'advances' are useless and didn't need to be invented - why didn't we just stick with Ford Prefects and Morris Minors?
