Ford's New 'Active Park Assist' Makes Parallel Parking a Breeze for Lincoln MKT and MKS Owners

The often stressful and frustrating task of parallel parking soon will be as easy as pressing a button for owners of the Lincoln MKS flagship sedan and all-new Lincoln MKT seven-passenger luxury crossover, thanks to an exclusive new technology from Ford Motor Company called Active Park Assist.

Available in mid-2009 as an option on the 2010 Lincoln MKS sedan and new Lincoln MKT crossover, Active Park Assist uses an ultrasonic-based sensing system and Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) to position the vehicle for parallel parking, calculate the optimal steering angle and quickly steer the vehicle into a parking spot.

Did you not listen to the entire video? He says it is one of their "comfort and convenience technologies"

Do they not have technology where you are from?

I wonder how many spots this system rejects, saying they're too small. It sounds like a good idea, but would be more useful in a bigger car. I don't understand what the big deal is with parallel parking. Do they not teach you that in the States?

This is one of the stupidest things ever. If you can't parallel park a car (a small one at that), then you shouldn't be allowed a driver's license. My 17-year old daughter can parallel park my Chevy Yukon 10-15 seconds in downtown Chicago.
