Yeah but long way off real world situations I reckon. You'd never save time by letting it do all that by itself, you'd be too busy watching it.  Even when you get bored of watching it you'd never be sure it wasn't causing trouble somewhere if left unattended.  :grin:

Very flash but too many variables for my liking. Don't think I'd ever be able to trust it fully.

It'd be a massive help for women I guess? I've not come across one yet that can parallel or reverse park  :grin:

I bet Audi doesn't mention that the auto park function is only available at one location and one very specific car park in the world.

Compare the times on the car's HUD and the woman's phone when she recalls the car...11:something PM in the car and daylight outside when it comes out...

all a car has to do is move forwards and backwards a couple of feet to stop the parking warden putting a ticket on it whilst i pop into the shops.
