So if the car crashes while auto-parking, are Skoda liable? They were driving!

I remember they showed that on Top Gear, another car I think, but Hammond didn't set it properly and it didn't work properaly at first ... then he managed to bin it into the burnt-down Cool Wall. :p

Oh ... ... piss off ya joyless bastard. :D

Point being, then it wasn't a fool proof system, and pointed out that it wasn't quite ready yet as a piece of tech.

Seemingly, Skoda have had a better stab at it.

Point being, another seemingly 'unscripted, bumbling accident' somehow happens perfectly on cue? :rolleyes:


But on a serious note, it would be interesting to see how good the sensors are. If someone walks in the space? If there's a bollard in the middle of it (hence no one parked there)? Etc! How clever is the car? Would it end up parked in the space ontop of someone?
