Ford’s New ‘Active Park Assist’ Makes Parallel Parking a Breeze for Lincoln MKT and MKS Owners
Posted by admin on May 2, 2010 in new technology |
The often stressful and frustrating task of parallel parking soon will be as easy as pressing a button for owners of the Lincoln MKS flagship sedan and all-new Lincoln MKT seven-passenger luxury crossover, thanks to an exclusive new technology from Ford Motor Company called Active Park Assist.
Available in mid-2009 as an option on the 2010 Lincoln MKS sedan and new Lincoln MKT crossover, Active Park Assist uses an ultrasonic-based sensing system and Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) to position the vehicle for parallel parking, calculate the optimal steering angle and quickly steer the vehicle into a parking spot.

I wonder how many spots this system rejects, saying they’re too small. It sounds like a good idea, but would be more useful in a bigger car. I don’t understand what the big deal is with parallel parking. Do they not teach you that in the States?

This is one of the stupidest things ever. If you can’t parallel park a car (a small one at that), then you shouldn’t be allowed a driver’s license. My 17-year old daughter can parallel park my Chevy Yukon 10-15 seconds in downtown Chicago.

Haha, wouldn’t it be awesome if the parking spot was on the right, but then the car thinks there is a parking spot on the left…but in reality it’s just a bunch of oncoming cars.
I doubt this technology is that stupid, but imagining it is pretty funny.
