No matter how much technology you squeeze into a car, it won't work if you're trying to park in Italy! That requires some kind of magic that only human hands can perform... :lol:paul16451 said:Now THIS is a feature I think I'd REALLY enjoy on a car, especially driving through San Francisco!
Yeah, my friend told me to park car without the parking brakes and leave it in Neutral so every one can bumper push the car in front and back so everyone can "Squeeze-in" that is the parking way for ITALY and works in ARGENTINA as well ! But in TOKYO just find a spot that you think the AutoEdo said:No matter how much technology you squeeze into a car, it won't work if you're trying to park in Italy!

Wait a minute. WAIT...A...minute. This feature will only work in Italy if the car's CD Player is playing a special CD of the Tarantela. In Argentina you need the Tango CD.C.Rickey Hirose said:Yeah, my friend told me to park car without the parking brakes and leave it in Neutral so every one can bumper push the car in front and back so everyone can "Squeeze-in" that is the parking way for ITALY and works in ARGENTINA as well !

I seem to remember one of those magazine shows of the 80's showing a car that did just that.DanMan32 said:Why can't they develop cars where the wheels can turn 90 degrees (back ones too) so that you can push your car into a tight parallel parking spot?

Ha! I was wondering when the old stereotype would pop up... :lol:An04Prius said:And the tarantella will never be obsolete...just rent the Godfather movie. :wink:

The driver still has to set up the points on the monitor, and still has to control the brakes. (If the car hits something, it's the driver's fault for not braking in time!)
Now that I think of it, I wonder whether (and how well) this system would work on steep slopes as those in SF... :shock:paul16451 said:Now THIS is a feature I think I'd REALLY enjoy on a car, especially driving through San Francisco!
