2010 Toyota Prius: Intelligent Parking Assist

[fleetwoodsucks]

what a strange and unnecessary feature.

[E63Brabus]

The second feature is useless, since technology to do that was invented in the 1920's it's called: Side Mirrors!!!

[davidsuggitt]

the onscreen controls are more difficult than learning how to park.

[sbeer6er]

i can wait to start seeing accidents from auto assist parking, not only do i not know how to parrallel park, i don't know how to park assist.

[KennYA51]

Invention of the century! Now woman can finally park

[empireofred]

Wow! What;s next? The automatic ass scratching system?

[izuls]

Impressive technology, I would love to have this for long trips on the freeway. But when it comes to parking, learn how to parallel park! It's not that hard with a little practice...

[45barber1]

That's so cool.

[mudiyanselage]

My Prius (2011)doesnot have a intelligent parking so is it possible to buy the system seperatly and install.

[carlbarino]

whoever dislikes this means he/she doesn't know how to park.

[then00bx0r]

how about a tight spot like those in the cities? if you have that big of a space like in the video and you need parking assist you need to be slapped

[sEra323]

@then00bx0r hahahaha i was thinking the samething

[MrDeydis]

IF YOU NEED HELP PARKING YOU SHOULDNT DRIVE!!!!

[sli931]

americans..

embarrassing.........



[mrmoose341]

@sli931 The Prius is Japanese.

[toransu]

@sli931 Or you could compare it to places like France, where they just park on the sidewalk.

[girigupta2010]

best for women

[renefern]

BUY A REAL CAR, GET A JETTA TDI, 50MPG, BATTERIES NOT REQUIRED

[pickmeOMGpickme]

Great, further encourage terrible drivers to get behind the wheel.

If you can't do something a simple as park a car, stay the hell out of the driver's seat.

[Daschickenify]

This is really needed for the prius, because mostly women drive priuses, and women arent that good of drivers alot of the time

[MrDeydis]

@Daschickenify women shouldnt be allowed to drive ever.

[MrEdwardjong]

How sad, I think this says a lot about small car drivers; otherwise, parking assist would have been standard on the Sequoia and the Tundra.

[fischerskidude]

this is because the only two demographics that cannot park (women and asians) drive these cars.

[zetina2010]

omg i love this i want one!

[uoyuoy444]

Please.... Didn't these cars have trouble coming to a stop ? I think a driver should not be driving if he can't park it.

[otacon68]

Thats really lame, if you cant park car yourself in half time than this, then you shouldnt drive at all.

[denisrenelara]

wow! that is really good.

can i have this and the Solar Powered Ventilation System on a Prius 4?

[firewars]

So sad that this system is not available in my country.

[jenybebe702]

try to have a Parking Mania app on your iPad / iPhone / iPodtouch and you'll see!

[jnnycliff]

this driver is gay, he don't know how to park.

[trainsimulator2]

oh yeah like somone would need one those Intelligent Parking Assist people should be intelligent to backup somthing thats 5 ft wide and 11 ft long. cars are so small you need to do it by yourself ive backed up truck+trailers before, if you would need one of whose things have it on semis.

[moised]

Ford Park assist is better than this one,,,this one seemed to be very complicated...I'd rather park the car manually than using that one...

[ratc1]

The car system all women dream of!!

But I personally hate it, as well as most automatic stuff, like automatic gearbox!

I'm not interested to pay extra cash for stuff I like to control myself, because it is by controlling those what gives me pleasure to drive in the first place!!

[MrTytalus]

@ratc1

Hmm, Prius', manual-stuff and pleasures to drive... Na, you don't buy a Prius as a 'drivers' machine, it's techie through and through, so 'Bring on the Gadgets', I'd say!

I think I have the best of both worlds: 2004 Prius for the family, 1996 MGF for my driving pleasure :)

[Karadiel]

pretty useless

[twin1010101010]

this is good for women driver and old people....

i dont need to use that since i am professional driver...

[RescGT777]

Front of this car is so ROX.

[joyogunx]

i was with you till the wheel started moving by itself lol

[carlover2013]

Toyota totally stole that from Ford...

[RescGT777]

@carlover2013 Really? Toyota has 7 years using it on prius

[carlover2013]

@RescGT777 Has it really? Whoops sorry. I didnt think that they could think of tht.

[RescGT777]

@carlover2013 hahah good one

[moised]

@carlover2013 i agree,,,and toyota's parking assists is very complicated, i'd rather park it my own..for Ford its so simple just press the parking assist button then it'll park itself, no more centering or pressing Ok button whatsoever...

[basketballfrogy]

Toyota <3

[TV843]

By the time I would've finished following all of those instructions, I would already have been parked on my own.

[Ingichs]

if you can't park a car into paralel parking,then what are you doing on the road?

[scooterbooger]

@Ingichs my thoughts exactly...even more so with the backing into a regular spot, IN A PRIUS!

[64709597]

sick....want to be car designer

[Prttimeninja2]

Sadly I do not have that much time to get into a parking spot.

[boaco2010]

This is so cool!!! The thing is that in 20 years no one will know how to park a car and  Cars will drive you hehehe..

[jnnycliff]

lol... try that in San Francisco didn't work out well. I go manual park.

[Helldiver450]

now women can finally drive. Thank you Toyota. You've saved millions of lives and insurance money.

[WhOwns]

@Helldiver450 Best comment ever.

[empireofred]

@Helldiver450 Hahahaha 

[alemaga]

I can park a lot better than that and in less space

[kenny1309]

@alemaga

Good job!

[TheGrove101]

Then a few years later we will have cars that we can talk to. Then cars that develop emotions. Then cars that in-slave the human race.

But it'll be fun up until the in-slavement part :)

[maurice1431]

IN japan, car drives you!

[AlexSofwareEngineer]

ต่อจากนี้ ก็หวังว่าจะไม่มี traffic parking อีก

[nofreedomofspeech]

I think some Lexus has this as well. Lexus = Toyota so not that strange.

[curlyliving]

I JUST HAD A PANIC ATTACK WHILE WATCHING THAT.  HOLY SH*T!

[rc0ll]

For parallel parking I can understand, that can get tough particularly if there's no room.

But if you can't reverse park then you really shouldn't have a license. It's really not that hard.

[ShiroMirage413]

So in the future no one is gonna know how to park a car. Wow.

[TJPewter]

@ToyotaUSA Is this feature available in the Prius here in the Philippines?

[ToyotaUSA]

@TJPewter try asking here toyota.com.ph

[4445599]

@ToyotaUSA don't think so. not in thailand even for top model

[ksataman]

@TJPewter. Thailand is the manufacturing place for ASEAN Prius. But in Thailand version which been announced on Nov 16, this option was not included. Including Solar Roof and GPS Navigation. That why most of Thai friend I know will NOT buy this stupid version.

[ChrisBennett18]

the parking assist is ment for old people or people who is too stupid to drive

[TheSt777n]

COOOOL!!! That's the best car i have ever seen!!!!

[lilbeezy4utoo]

car for lazy people

[excite236]

i want to hack this so i can drive by remote

[ekklesiast]

amazing. the future is here.

[toyotaprius79]

@ekklesiast the future was in 2004 and everything else was grand apart for the place where a man called bush was from.

[LoveandEqualityToAll]

Is it available in the Prius III? Does it cost extra? How about the cameras on the sides of the mirrors that help you stay in the lane is that extra and is it available in the Prius III?

[ToyotaUSA]

@LoveandEqualityToAll It's only available on the Prius V.

[antonio5699]

:-(

[bedfordv]

I WANT THIS CAR!!! IT IS THE BEST CAR EVER!!!!

[toyotaprius79]

@bedfordv Hang on you can get better, you can get all Lexus hybrid models with these features as standard, you can get the camry hybrid or a skoda yeti which is a vw and you'll need to know you're driving a shit mobile that copied everything from toyota and honda.

[MrZammii98]

@gamer7790 i find it very offending that you say that asians can't drive; even though my parents drive mercedes Benz's and that they both have clean driving licences

[djw3sly]

Steering wheel problems!!! ......but it's cool!

[subzero92MK]

mercedes class a has it too,btw it is a nice thing for women lol

[friscoway415]

@subzero92MK you're right specially for women, but it still needs command and use of the gas and brake pedals and for that thing they still needs little more brains. ;)

[subzero92MK]

@friscoway415 they wouldn't drive, they r dangerous, my cousin touched a little wall with the car because she changed the gas with the brake... lol

[pinkmochaxx]

WTF this is for people who are too lazy to learn how to park for themselves... It's really not that hard...

[chopaface]

this is pretty innovative... but honestly, i think people should be able to park in for themselves... they should just have a warning alert if your are too close to another car to discourage parking accidents...

[renzshigeno13]

wahahahaha!! coooooooool.....

[obiehax]

i like the way hes flicking that gear

[kaduisaui]

If a person cannot parallel park, they should not receive a license to drive.

[Wako098]

epic... I would think that it would crash ut it doesnt apparently.

[RDCKM]

lol old people will be loving it!!!!

[pukhrajdhillon]

Intelligent people dont actually need intelligent parking , this for Dumb people making them more dumber.

[gamer7790]

toyota made that because asians cant drive

[lamboboy28]

@gamer7790 actually, asians drive good. i would know b-cuz my family is asian.

[ladomiroff]

This is the last thing I need in my car

[LilChico650]

prius, crappy, pa , fuking awsome

[thequake180]

this is dumb but cool at the same time haha

[ZanQdo]

people are too stupid to drive

[Chessbuster]

So if turning a wheel to parallel park is beyond some people they can instead choose to buy this car with a feature that'll further automate their lives. Fucking ingenious.

[stevenwhite2010]

I hate how the prius beeps at you when you are in reverse. I KNOW I'M IN REVERSE DAMNIT!

[raejaybigpapi]

@stevenwhite2010 I AGREE. I WAS IN MY FRIENDS MOM PRIUS AND SHE WAS PARRALELL PARKING AND THE THING WAS GOING "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" IT GETS SO ANNOYING!

[nephil1977]

Now people just need a car that can drive for them when they are eating a sandwich, texting, putting on make-up, and smacking their kids in the back seat... That would make the roads A LOT safer... :-/

[networkse7en]

wow i need one of those.

[Hejabikk]

my dad drives this so amazing

[THOMASWize]

To cool!!!!

[920gamez]

now thats just for old people that dont now how to back up or park

[hfpetruy]

Li num jornal que a Toyota está pensando em trazer o Prius este ano para o Brasil. Tô na torcida pra que realmente venha. O carro é fantástico.

[Maxtremus]

Maybe in 200 years this will come here in Brazil, and costing 50x more than in the rest of the world >(

[superfly1842]

think of all the people who have to wait behind you because you are preparing to park, gotta set coordinates of wheel landings, verify directions blah blah all this crap u can just park yourself...

[superfly1842]

if u need that much help parking you should not be driving...

[xSkyPhoenix]

Looks like when I go get my license, I don't have to learn parallel park. ;D

[midnitesquirldog]

remember the movies judge dredd demolition man i hope the world doesnt do this where everything controls us it would be a sad world:(

[rsxzx6r]

lol...u live ur life based on judge dredd?...

[jgisthebest13]

@damnedsewerrat hahaha

[lexusES350h]

im buying one. so damn happy and excited! im getting the navigation package + the fixed pedal package haha

[Laarryttguy]

Prius is much better than other cars. But I agree with some folks out there. Drive should always practice parking whenever there is chance. Technology is for just assistance only, auto pilot mode in plane. They can takeover your steering. That way drivers can learn from the system. Remember, we can't rely on tech 100%

[DmcBelgium]

testdrove it yesterday, Fabulous example of modern technique..

The intelligent parking system is very usefull,once you understand how it works!

Good video!

[monkeycheeseking]

that's pretty awesome.... just a start but at least it's a step forward!! =D

[JapAnimeForever]

The idea good, but is one "BUT"... Prius can park provided that a parking lot not less, than in one and a half time exceeds length of the car: (

[JapAnimeForever]

And I would like to know for whom made this possible - parking without hands, for morons?

In senses, the normal person will park the car itself. Especially in a parking there is nothing difficult....

[FTrain4750]

what about tight spaces where you have to wiggle in and out? will it do that?

[WoWDirac]

This is a great feature but unfortunately it comes for an additional fee on the most expensive Prius model (the V i believe)

[bikersrule07]

i dont like the prius, but this system is kewl, there are times when trying to park is a real pain.

[hi3956]

by the time they set those buttons and crap, I already took the spot lol

[DRCRAZY03]

@hi3956

lmao thats what i was thinking

[Palmiros]

By the time you set all the "points and flags" you might as well just do it yourself.

[jeffreyyyy]

absolutely right

[slipperybacon]

ugly spaceship

[luther357]

If you can't park a car, you don't belong in the driver's seat. It's a cool application of technology - great flash factor. But the thought that a driver would actually rely on this is frightening. We're creating a new level of moron.

[popalechee]

Wow... before we know it, cars are gonna be able to drive for you... :l

Lol

Just think... how difficult is it to "fix" problems with the computer system ( Financially & manually)?

[aznjonnyforlife]

Wow it steers for you :D Haha coolest car ever

[Smallizzi]

This car has some great features, and I think this is one of the best features to come to a car. I am a person who is a good parker, but there are days were I really don't feel like doing the work of parking, so this system would be great. For those people who say this system sucks well just don't buy this car and don't waste your time watching these types of videos. At least this car maker is trying to ease driving experience

[lc2051]

wow, good for women!

[RaserX305]

Love it! I bought my Prius in 2004 it has over 120,000 miles and it runs great. I buying this one next year for sure.

[Messjuh1]

Not new. I've got this in my 2009 Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit).

[norbertomd]

vw sucks

[DODwebdotorg]

It's far older than that - it was an option on the japanese market Prius back in 2004 allready, then it came to Lexus which brought it to the western world with some success. Several different makers have had this on the option list since then.

[tkdmmalover]

that is scary cool!

[jdb220997]

ban the prius

[KILLERKARMA69]

Real cool for the ladys but iam still not sure if there will be less damage to my truck or more if some dummy dosent break when showing off to there girlfriends ~~~~

[heyhiandhello]

ford ipa is way better it will back you into the space and then will pull you forward.

[archeophoto]

Isn't the point of this vehicle to preserve fuel? Fuel is best preserved by reducing weight. Automatic systems like this silly self parking weigh a lot. Before people buy into this, they should learn how to drive properly - incl. parking - and drive smaller and lighter cars with FEWER gimmicks.

20 years ago there were cars on the market in Europe that had the same or better mileage as a prius without all the high tech. The industry would stop cater to lazy people, incapable of any manual task.

[AmericaFyeah1776]

The point of this vehicle (along with every other production vehicle) is transportation. This gimmick is no worse than cruise control or any other OPTION.

Why don't you start walking and quit your complaining.

[archeophoto]

Yeah, leave away the OPTIONS. Learn how to do tasks yourself. You will be surprised how it stimulates the brain. Walking is a good idea once in a while, too.

[xedjflowx]

this system weighs a lot?!? its computer programming and maybe a couple extras to turn the wheel itself...

[archeophoto]

For fuel efficiency every kilo counts. I once removed all the little "helpers" from a car to weigh them (I'm a mechanic). In my case it was over 150kg. Stuff like power windows, power locks, parking system need more stuff then you actually think.

Also, If people would learn how to manually shift a vehicle another 200kg could be saved.

If you can't park a vehicle yourself you should seriously think about giving your driver license back.

The whole "automatization" is slowly getting ridiculous.

[xedjflowx]

also, i think that automatic shifting is great because of the fact all you need is one foot and one hand, instead of two feet and two hands. its just a lot less work when driving especially in traffic and when you have to accelerate and then slow down

[Sliksing013]

thumbs up

[virokill132]

drive your own carsppl

[JasperJohnny]

This is so gimmicky. Seriously??

Anybody who can't even park their vehicle shouldn't even have a license.

It's incredibly easy.

And you think when you get stopped behind someone about to parallel park NOW it's slow? Wait until someone in front of you stops to p-p then has to push a bunch of buttons and let the car do the work.

Brutal.

[gmcelhanon1]

The next step is to have the car automatically determine driver gender... and make this mandatory for those "women drivers"... tsk tsk tsk.

[bschoolchris1]

its pretty good, except it makes one look like a retard that doesn't know how to park, if one knows how to park w/o this system like me, congrats!

[taxidrivermilano]

wondefull by sergio taxista milano

[HotrodUS]

WOW That is sick!! I want this car now!!

[MozTS]

too bad driving this car is so terrible

[bLuebhErie]

OMG!...

I WANT THIS CAR!...

freaking cool.....

[0xHalox0]

Nice, optional feature :)

[RobotBros]

i think once you get the hang of it it would be cool. makes me want to get one

[perfgeek]

So, the computers in this thing can steer, they can accelerate, decelerate and brake (the dynamic cruise control), they can tell you when you are leaving your lane. I suspect it is only legal liability left as the last hurdle for "Auto Drive."

[applecrazy11]

Ya, i mean it can even sense when a object is in front of it. Lol just hope it doesn't start learning.

[bryanrdale]

When I first heard about this, I thought it was a great work saver, but looking at this video, its way too much work. I agree that its a lot quicker just to do the parking myself. Anyone who thinks that this is easier than parking the car themselves, probably shouldn't have their license.

[dontwalkhand]

Yes, but it is cool to show off....but I do not believe that it is worth paying a few extra thousand for a show off feature. I rather put the money towards the built in GPS, sound system, etc.

[chromebomb]

i dont like the front end of the new prius

[ajp42109]

1:12 that was scary. it seemed like a ghost took over the car

[NavTC]

Very useless feature. I can park my car, get out, and lock it instead of messing with all those buttons. And if you park any quicker than what is "safe". It'll just cancel the whole sequence.

[zaphod351]

I have to agree, this is a novel idea but if I were to use this to paralell park in center city Philadelphia I would have traffic backed up for 2 blocks by the time I went through all the settings to make sure I parked correctly, easier to just park it yourself.

[h3e44]

gota love toyota

[allenhuffman]

Wow. I know they've had this since, what, 2004 in Japan, but it's nice to see it finally coming to America. Just amazing.

[friscoway415]

@allenhuffman yea yea japan first in everything, yea right.
