It’s a common fact, woman just can’t parallel park. Yeah, ladies I’m sorry, but I have to agree. We suck. Have no fear, have no fear, there’s a change looming in the automotive industry. A car that parallel parks itself. We are now only responsible for completing the first task in parallel parking, which is pulling up alongside an empty space and passing the rear car before aligning next to the front car. Yeah, all we girls have to do now is properly align ourselves next to a car, and the rest is up to the big thing we’re driving. From there, “a sonar sensor on the front fender measures the length of the space and your distance from the cars. Put the car in reverse, and the rearview camera… presents a wide rear view on the in-dash display” (blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2006/09/ls_460_parking.html). From there, a green square on the screen shows up. All you need to do is place the green square exactly where you would like to park. Once you have it lined up, you press OK and the car does the rest, you only need to use the brake to ease the car back. Can you believe it? A car that parks itself. Lazy? Yeah, maybe, but isn’t it great? This is just one more step on the path to never having to drive again – soon the car will just do it for you. But for now, ladies, let’s applaud these geniuses that just made our lives a heck of a lot easier. It's called the The Lexus LS460. This will change driving and parking altogether. We will have better parkers and better habits on the road because there is more of a support system that is along with us.
