The latest Volkswagen ad shows a large number of examples of different VW's.
At the end of the ad, a young girl driving a Golf lets the car park itself in a perfect reverse park. It appears to be completely "hands off". What I want to know is, why are manufacturers now coming up with technology to replace the need for the most basic driving functions to still be performed by the driver? Will they eventually develop cars where the driver input is zero?
I know that lots of incompetent drivers will love this feature but to me, if you can't reverse park correctly without the help of technology, you can't drive. Full stop.
What do others think?
