BBC1 Tomorrow's World 1990 - The car that parks itself

[barbarash]

This car parks like my Mum!

[gutem360]

Lembro quando passou a reportagem no Fantastico a respeito desse carro que seria lançado em 2025. Mas agora tenho que rir kkkkkk... isso é mais velho que um Fiat UNO e olha que estamos em 2011 kkkkkk Essa coisa feia nunca que vai ser lançado, ainda mais com essa técnologia e designer do tempo do bumba meu boi kkk

[dvcarneirome]

ORBITAL ! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­

[Fedaykin24]

And now I can buy a Ford Focus with park assist!

[iTchySkiDs]

the program adverts at the end were very nostalgic. i want to watch the Ross Abbort show... being 10 all over again.

[Visonu]

AS Peter McCann mentions the car makes a sound if you're getting too close to something, nowadays there are cars that make warning sounds like that especially when you're parking as I have a BMW car that does it.

[RichCowell1980]

Really wish that had been about 28 minutes longer!

[mavidbabae]

i want the poster! do u think they will still post it to me?

[raphmbs]

@mavidbabae Yeah, definitely! Lol

[drivingmuppets]

"don't spare the rubber"? Yeah, right. Keep turning the wheels like that with the car stationary & there'll be no tread left.

Buy a camera & you'll be able to park in a space marginally longer than your car.

[Bilfo]

2:05 "Take me home Fritz, and don't spare the rubber" Rather stereotypical, what!

[AR1G3]

why don't they produce it??

It's genial!!

[Abrahandsome3200]

@AR1G3 Dude they allready produce that car, well not that but for example mercedez, toyota, dodge and even ford are producign some models with automathic parking system n_n look for that on youtube its really amazing!

[AR1G3]

@Abrahandsome3200

I know, Vw has a a system to for it, the only thing you need to do is the trotthle and the break.

I think you can get it on their most models as an option.

but they need to produce this one, it's nice design and I like that car!!!!

[VINYLL1]

20 years ago? I don't trust politics!

[deselmes]

Ray Stubbs looked really young back then...

[AshtonPhoto]

Direct injection. How amazing. Like titanium heads on an 8-track.

[Ergonowt]

Most humans can't park. Why would they expect a computer to?

[2010mustang2]

Looks like something out of Back to the Future 2

[FireOFK]

I would have to say the Car industry really really suck. sure we have lots of new safety futures thanks to new electronics and computers but the car itself is the same shit as it was 80 years ago same combustion engine same wheels same shit with little tweaking here and there. and I strongly believe its all because of the fucking oil companies so they can make money. combustion engines should have been gone more than 30 years ago already. in every other area we have been advancing much more!

[dwoodsky]

such a smooth getaway there peter

[paladin696969]

dont spare the rubber? , dirty man, and also why did the future always have the most weird colour combinations!

[mrmalade]

the presenter is clearly shitting himself

[mocango10]

as insparição nossa

eeee Orbitaal isso siim e roda q nunca sai de linha

[Explosion26]

20 years ago and they stil cant get it to fucking work

[jacksawild]

kids today don't know what an S.A.E is.

[dunemoonbeam]

click replaced the program

[Aftershock731]

is that for women?

[markygoo]

oh lmao. I think if it WAS for women it would have to DRIVE itself too

[weestuburns]

Cant see the tyres or ball joints lasting with static wheel turning.

[biertier99]

All this is in mass production nowadays...

parking assistants, infrared laser detectors for cruise control, direct injection....

[fairhillnorrie]

loved that show...

[fairhillnorrie]

loved the show.. pity they got most things wrong... but i suppose if we had a new series trying to predict the next 100 years of techno they would probably be laughing at us in 100 years... thank you..

[plainlazy2097]

i wonder if i'm still able to purchase that poster? ;o)

[LeighHobnob]

Take me home Fritz??? Ha ha! An un PC world!!

[wildenfree]

cars break by themselves now

[festivephone]

good if you want to spend a fortune on tyres

[ereynihc]

there is some show called upstream on current tv most weekdays at 7pm which is good and reminds me of this but cooler

[dunkiep]

Funny they never saw the fuckin' internet coming, did they? Parking cars, my arse!

[will2993]

new lexus's park themselves

[dunkiep]

...missed the point there...

[fergaloc]

@dunkiep er, my Golf parks itself :)

[pikuorguk]

@dunkiep Quite a lot of 60s and 80s scifi writers totally missed mobile phones too. Flying cars, teleporters and space travel were common place but the ability to just use a mobile phone... totally not thought of.

[CmdrTobs]

@dunkiep lol /watch?v=5Dp5ef9i6pc keep up!

[thepredat0r666]

wierd isnt it. people thort this was the future and a parking car was mental. well the lexus parks itself

[rdt1970]

[bluebubbleboy]

@rdt1970 what about bbc click...

[paulspydar]

very good quality for an allmost twenty year old VHS recording,( I assume its a houshold VHS rec?)

[RossPK81]

As long as a VHS hasn't been played too much then it should still be perfectly fine after 20 years.

[Keijz74]

First GDI engine?

[stevekipping]

Well it's GDI, but that's been around for long before this.

[NiGhtMarEs0nWax]

[castles2hire]

Dont think it took off.lol

[knicksfan89]

[Visonu]

These titles were introduced in 1986

[fuddymox]

[MuhsinTheMomin]
