markcedes - 9/12/2006 6:09 PM i dont know...i just saw he car and driver article for the ls460 the car parks itself!!!!! That's because the LS has full electric steering. You can't do that with a hydrualic steering (I think).

^^^ yeah it's cool, but have you ever seen the video from Automobile Magazine? They tried to reverse park using the autopark feature, it took too long and failed eventually.. I wish they would've tested the paralel autopark feature (instead reverse park).
The technology is still new and buggy right now, I'm sure Mercedes will have this feature in the future.. They already started with the C216 CL don't they? Just maybe not as advanced as Lexus' |

Just maybe not as advanced as Lexus' The CL system is, from what I've seen, the exact same except you still have to steer the wheel. The system will look at the space you have, and give you guidelines on how far to turn the steering wheel to get in there. I think that's how it works.
