I wonder if the insurers will pay out for the damage to your car if it damages itself parking.....
ROFLThat is a great point. Who's to blame you or the car??
And who loses their no claims you or the car?
Car would feel a right tit down the petrol station explaining itself to its mates.

What is it's "Tolerance"- Ie, can you park in the smallest mathematically possible space or does it need a foot+ each end of the car?
Doubtful. But I like imagining the onboard computer telling you 'Give it some welly, we're gonna need to Russ Swift this st.' before zooming towards the space and applying some handbrake.Edited by W00DY on Sunday 29th August 18:16

Key phrase is "ASSIST" It's not an fully automatic system. So, just like parking sensors you hit something it's YOUR fault. AS for the system, whilst it works it's a bit crap. As you have to crawl past the gap so the car measures it. Many instances of people complaining the car cannot "see" a space, clearly big enough. When in the same time you could do it on your own.
Because for the last umteen years people have been taught to pass a test not taught how to drive.

For fking hell's sake- why can't people be expected to reverse park their own car? Is the car driving public really so plebbing stupid that a reverse/parallel park is considered an advanced manoevre?
Pass me a shotgun.
Pass me a shotgun.

That would be the test that often includes the parallel park? The same manoevre that every single person being tought how to drive will have gone through umpteen times before they go for their test?10 Pence Short said:

I can understand new drivers being crap in the dark or on motorways, but to find it difficult to fking well park against a kerb is pushing it.

And no fker knows how to use a roundabout mini or otherwise it’s like the last stand at the ok corral.
It took me changing my wife’s instructor and company after she told me that all they do is drive and no manoeuvres, just drive and when I asked why he told me that the way we teach now, fecking idiot.
I know this isn’t the case with all companies.
But where did it all go wrong with drivers?

A test that involves a reverse park....
I'm guessing new drivers take the same attitude to driving as you do to quoting. Can't be arsed to do it properly in the same way as the existing community because nobody picks them up on it.And no fker knows how to use a roundabout mini or otherwise it’s like the last stand at the ok corral.
