For you dorks who can\'t parallel park a car, Toyota has an answer.

Not only can it park itself, it\'s a hybrid!

But I\'ll stick to my fuel consuming Subaru, thank you.

I wouldn\'t mind a hybrid once they get bigger.  I guess they are going to start making SUVs as hybrids soon.


Oh and if you can\'t freaking park your car you shouldn\'t be driving.  That is the most worthless waste of engineering time I can think of.

I wonder how many lawsuits Toyota will get once some dumbass ruins the system and drives into another car while parking.

Or runs over a cat....

There are plenty of people driving who have no business doing it b/c:

• they can\'t park, parallel or otherwise
• they don\'t know who has the right of way
• they can\'t remember who got to a 4-way stop first if there\'s more than 1 car already there when they pull up
• they don\'t know the difference between a yield sign and a stop sign
• they don\'t yield
• they stop in the right-hand lane with their blinker on b/c they want in the left-hand lane so they can make a turn 30 yards down the road.
• they can\'t merge onto the interstate AT ALL and instead drive side-by-side with another driver in the right-hand lane until the on-ramp is gone and they have to drive into the ditch and slow down to 35
• they pull out 100 yds in front of someone driving over 20mph faster than them
• there is an accident on the side of the road and they slow down to 45mph to look at it
• they make a left turn at point-blank range in front of someone else

Yeah so those are the sobs that should die

Not to mention tail gating. When I drive, I get so many people tailgating my ass its beginning to irritate me. Someone already hit me from behind (no damage or anything) at a red light.

I\'m tired of people never signalling. Sometimes I feel like I\'m the only one in Las Vegas who uses their left and right indicators. I can\'t tell you how many times, I\'d be driving in the left lane at about 55 mph, and then all of the sudden the guy in front of me, hits his breaks to make a left turn; and I have to come to a screeching halt.

If you were to be signalling left at least 50 yards from your turn, I would\'ve slowed down and be prepared to stop in my tracks!

Its not about courtesy, its about common sense. The indicator lets other drivers know what you\'re next move is, so that they can adjust properly. Is it really that hard to just hit the switch up or down? Holy crap!
