They already have this feature on the JDM Toyota Prius. Just a matter of time before it's on lots of cars.
From Time magazine
PARKING-SPACE INVADER
Inventor: Toyota
Back up. O.K., stop. A little more. O.K., now turn the wheel. More. More. Too much! Sorry, sir, was that your car? If you've ever driven in a city, you know the agony of parallel parking in a tight space. But your suffering may soon end. Toyota has invented a car that parallel parks itself. This new version of the Prius, Toyota's hybrid gas-electric automobile, has an optional self-parking feature, which combines a rear-mounted camera, power steering and special software that automatically guides the car backward into its curbside destination. With Intelligent Parking Assist, as Toyota calls the feature, the driver doesn't even have to touch the steering wheel.

I'd hate to see what happens when the system develops a glitch. No thanks, I'll do it the old fashion way. Beside, I avoid parallel parking situations - a sure was to avoid bumper dings.
