The Jeep parks itself

 

Really.  It has park assist for both parallel parking and perpendicular parking.  Tell it you want to find a space and drive down the row.  When it locates a space it likes, it tells you what to do from there:

 

“Take your hands off the wheel and back up.”

“Stop.”

“Pull forward.”

“Stop.”

“Back up.”

“Stop.”

“Parking complete.”

 

It always backs in.

 

We’ve tried it when there are clear parking lines to follow.  It works.  I tried it in an old parking lot where the lines are faded, but there were cars to park between.  Here’s how it looked when it was done.

 

It nails it every time.  Self-driving cars.  Baby steps.
