    Skoda - Automatic parking :)






    So if the car crashes while auto-parking, are Skoda liable? They were driving!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    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.

    Oh ... ... piss off ya joyless bastard.

    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?


    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?
