The technology is impressive, but I feel it's a poor application.  Drivers
should be able to manouever a vehicle without having to rely on aids like
this.  I don't know about the US but here in the UK a shocking number of
drivers are virtualy unable to reverse or parallel park, despite the
addition of these manouevers into the driving test.

Just another excuse for drivers to leave their brains at home IMO.

Mike
