You know those times you get to a store, restaurant, club, etc and you have to keep circling looking for a parking space...
Rather than waste that time, you should be able to get out of the car and it cruises the parking lot looking for a space while you take care of business.
Now THAT would be smart design.

Jill is smoking hot. Remember her in that vampire show blade series? She was hot in tt.

Speaking of tech to adapt to idiot drivers. Anybody see the blind spot technology? It uses the rear bumper reverse assist system. When a car comes along the rear side of the rear bumper a little orange light comes on in that side mirror.

Now THAT is useful. Especially when you are in a small car and backing between 2 SUVs.
