drive in, get it done, back out, pay attention.Parking assist technology or no, you should not be backing out of parking spaces in a parking lot. Always back *in* to the parking space....you have 100% clear lines of sight and already know if anyone or any car is moving in the area. Backup camera works fine if you can't backup on your own. When you leave, pulling out is safe and easy. This is a basic driving rule that everyone should follow. You HAVE to either back in, OR back out. So it only makes sense to do so the smart and safe way. You have to back up once to park(either on the way in or the way out) unless you pull through. So just do it the smart way and there will never ever be any issue. I don't have park assist. I didn't know it was an issue until I read all the doom and gloom on these forums. I find it comical and a bit.....dramatic. Can't we all just learn to park?
or do it your way and make people wait while you maneuver the back end around
either way, the driver needs to pay attention, which is the gist of the thread
