Yeah, right. Thanks to my cynicism, I can see myself getting behind one of these cars and missing my next appointment because because of how slow it was moving! Or, if I should somehow ever afford to own one, having it return to me with a 'nice' note from the management asking for payment of the $50 fine for parking in a restricted/reserved space.
Of course, with my luck, I'd be waiting for the car to return only to be greeted by the computer voice announcing, "
I'm sorry Jim, but I'm afraid I can't unlock the car doors for you." I wonder is Audi would be stupid enough to call this option HAL? Hopelessly Automated Loss of vehicle package!
And then there are the liability issues... "But Judge, I was in Macy's the whole time! How was I supposed to know that little old lady would run out in front of my car?! After all, it was being run by a computer and we all know those things never make a mistake!" ...run away gas pedals are only the "tip of the iceberg!"
I'm glad to see, however, that it uses the same parking technique all smart drivers (including me, of course) do; it's safer to back
into a parking place than to back
out of one! There are very seldom cars moving in the back of an empty space! On the other hand, when
backing out, you have to be aware of vehicles/people on both sides
and behind,
all at the same time!
