BMW has developed a car that can parallel park on its own. I could see how that would be convenient!

There’s also Mercedes’ distronic technology ( http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/18/mercedes-new-s-class-rocks-distance-plus-urban-cruise-control/ ) which apparently doesn’t work however.. :)

And I would definitely want one of these beemers, thought I wouldn’t really use it… This is how I parallel park:
