That's why I drive the Ultimate Driving Machine and not the "Ultimate Parking Machine!"

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
First off is it me or does the rear end of that Lexus it looks like a 7 series?

Some of the comments below the video are funny.

#1 The only thing this video shows me is that you should not leave 4 morons alone with a LS460. If you simply would take some time to find out how to use the autopark, it works flawless. If you're as stupid as a cows ass however, you will fail miserably

#2 I can see the insurance claims now: "The car crashed itself!"

#3 First of all I don't care for this system. This is for old farts who can't see anymore and parallel parking a long car like that can be difficult. Those guys in that video are a bunch of retards.

Agree.

But it sure makes a funny video.

I'm surprised this feature got approved by the Toyata/Lexus legal team.

Aren't old farts who can't see the target demographic for this car?

Too funny!

So if this system causes an accident, can Lexus be held responsible? Is there a waiver when you buy it?

Hahaha! What a waste of money. I'm sure, in a few years, they'll have a system like that that works... But until then, I'll stick to parking it myself, with a little help from PDC. I like the system on the new mercedes CL.. it finds a space large enough for the car, then gives you pointers on how to turn the wheel to get in there.
