Kinda lame if you ask me, considering there is automobile technology going back to at least <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/15/tech/main593482.shtml">2003 demonstrating cars with computers that can automatically parallel park in public.</a><br /><br /><object width="300" height="247">
