Deletion of Park Assist 2 Feature? [INCORRECT]

What a load of a$$ covering BS!!

How can you blame them... every manufacturer selling cars will be gun-shy when it comes to potential problems.

Probably someone was showing off to a passenger...

I recall a Mercedes Benz being demonstrated on TV where it hit objects. There is nothing to replace the human computer.

Then again, I know that some manufacturers brag that their park assist can park in a space that is just 800 mm longer than their car. Of course this is not in accordance with road rules that require the space you park in to be at least 2 metres longer than your car as you have to ensure you have a gap of 1 m between your vehicle and the one in front as wall as the one behind you.

Basically, you can be fined for failing to maintain the minimum required gap.

Actually reverse parking is very easy once you have worked out the system.

Align your car so that the rear of your vehicle is in line with the rear of the vehicle you are going to park behind.

Move backwards and start turning the wheel to the left.

Keep going until you can see that the right side of your vehicle points to the left front corner of the vehicle behind you in your driver's door mirror.

Straighten the steering wheel and reverse straight until your left door mirror and the right rear corner of the vehicle in front come into alignment with you in the driver's seat.

Keep reversing while turning right until parallel with the kerb.

Move forward or reverse to position yourself correctly.

When I was learning to drive, they used poles to mark out the corners of the lots and we were told to use parts of the car's rear passenger windows as markers to align with the poles

Parallel parking is the one that was more daunting to me especially in a new or unfamiliar car.
