    Automatic parrallel parking, you gotta be joking

    Did I just see this correctly? Ford offers automatic parrallel parking features in the new 2010 vehicles? I mean, lets think about this, women simply can't do it.....period! And do the engineers really think this will work flawlessly? I can see the lawsuits being drawn up as I write this. C'mon, cruise control has had it's glitches for thirty years now. Still in present automobile engineering times Toyota has to lie about brake and or throttle issues or both, and Ford wants women to be able to parrallel park. Well this is just genius at work.

    I was skeptical too when I saw that.

    Good way to get any damage fixed on your car, park next to a 2010 Ford and say hey you scratched my bumpers.

    If you can't parallel park you should not be behind the wheel. I am sure this feature was installed so people can text message while parking.

    Honda came out with it several years ago (5 or 6). Jackie Mason used to do the commercial for it. I don't think it was very popular.
