Hope its not a repost.

Does anyone know if this is still in testing or actually on the car? This is the first I have heard about it. I thought it was gonna be just cameras and sensors, I didnt know the car would do half of the parking.

I believe it is on the actual car. Saw that on the feature list of the 2007 LS460

Yes, it's on the car and it is already on the Toyota Prius since a few month.

I think that's new, but hell, what would I know? :lol:

I recall someone posted an auto parking clip of a BMW before, but not Lexus. And I don't think BMW's is out.

This technology has been out for the past few years... saw it on a BMW (i think 5 series) and a Toyota Prius a year ago I think (online not in person)

It will be great to see the first dumb ass consumer to use this and still fuck up parallel parking.

It's really not hard to park inbetween to cars!
