I'd be scared of it parking itself somewhere where I'd never find it again lol.

I wonder how it'd go in a car park where you have to get a ticket before the boom opens, that's not shown in the video.

you don't have to find it, it apparently comes back to you with the press of a button...guess you'd have to get your ticket as you came in and pay as you drove it out?

hmmm...never thought of that!

good thinking Gilly 😄

What happens if the computer gets a virus?

Or your phone runs out of battery?

On a recent thread I said I wanted a car that came when you whistled ('cos I sometimes lose my in carparks) and *hey presto* they dun it! 

So now I just want a million dollars......

(well, if the car-that-comes-when-you-whistle wish worked, maybe this wish will work too!)

Imagine being in a carpark, not knowing about the car-that-comes-when-you-whistle and seeing it drive past, driver-less :^O

It'd freak ya out!

cars have been doing the auto- pilot thing for years. many an old falcon or holden knew its own way home from the local .

Yup, 'reckon my car had a pretty good homing beacon, night or three from my youth.

My sister was buying a new VW a few months ago and self parking was one of the options and I begged her to get that car so that after having a license for 38 I would finally be able to do a reverse park.

But alas I will have to wait a bit longer to achieve the holy grail of my driving life.

Now imagine being the one 'whistling' for your car in a car park FULL of come-when-you-whistle-cars! 😮
