Have any of you guys seen the new Lexus Ls commercial. The car parks it self, now thats crazy............

 

Been trying to find a link. My bro just saw it and called me. OF COURSE, I skipped the Taste of Lexus event yesterday where I would've seen it demo'ed fo rmyself! D'oh!

 

Lexus makes it look like they invented it....

Here's the video:

BMW

IMO, BMW's system is more advanced... you don't have to "aim" the car.

 

dang. they're both super dope though

 

I saw that, it also has an 8 speed automatic trans.

 

They did. That auto parking feature has been available in the Japanese Prius for a good 2 -3 years now (and probably a reason why it's not superior to the newer system on the BMW). That BMW video shows a new 5-Series, so my guess is the BMW system came after Toyota's.

well that doesn't make a lotta sense now... if that's true, Toyota is 3 years into the game.. while BMW is on their first. So, why does BMW's system do it better. (In the LS the driver has to perform the final parking step of aligning the car in the space. In the BMW, the driver don't do sheit.)

Advantage: BMW

Ok now before all you Lexii pplz get all mad, realize I am just speaking from what I saw in the video - perhaps the Lexus system has options that you can set that truly make the car park 100% by itself.

 

I can still do it better and faster (still wouldn't mind having it)

 

nice system for the parking impaired or the lazyass. +1 for Toyota and BMW

 

rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble!

 

When did this come as an option on the 5 series? I'm pretty positive that Lexus has had this feature before, just didn't advertise it years ahead of time like BMW. Like someone said, the Prius has had it for a while now, in their production vehicle - not a prototype.

 

As if the Lexus system isn't already for lazy people, now you want the car allingning itself too?

Ultimate driving machine, or "ultimate being driven machine?"

Btw, there are already about 8 LS460 threads floating around.

 

Lets use that one.
