Frankly I like this for if I'm going to be on the run. I can imagine using this, but it would not be a daily kind of thing. I can see the benefit if you're not familiarity with the area or it takes a ton of time to park.

Or don't wait until next month to blow the rest of the wad...

Daily Drivers

A start we can work on now that requires no technical innovation and can pay for itself, create jobs that stimulate the economy, lower carbon emissions, save lives and make USA more competitive worldwide: Build dedicated high capacity truck lines along freeways.

Dealers should have a wireless system that connects into ODB II and lets them apply the brakes from the passenger seat. This certainly can be done, and it could basically make any car the 2015 version into a drivers ed car.

Chances I’m getting in an autonomous Kia anytime soon? 0%
