i don’t know, learning to park properly seems like a better solution :)

Ahh… That’s not how you parallel park, far to slow

Should be more like this…

like the idea, would be better if you could have 1 at the front of the car, then you would just have to pull up next to the space, rather then goin nose in first

Handy of the driver behind you doesn’t stop giving you room to park the old fashioned way. Being able to parallel park fast doesn’t make one a safe all around driver no more than having difficulty parallel parking would make another an all around dangerous driver.

LOL, i want some of these, maybe future project to working on it. The best way to expand this hack is by inserting another system in the front of the car, as you don’t have to do anything except check if your car have enought place to get in the parking hole

This may be a naive question since I’m a woman and all, but wouldn’t this device cause a lot of wear and tear on the front tires as they twist around?

“How intilligent ” people need this simply can’t drive a car and should not have a drive licence.
” wow 21 sec ” If it’s so importent not to “waste 20 sec” take a taxi,bus or walk.
Many people there are bad drivers should simply not drive.
Yes it’s not new , for 30 years ago a company make a car there could turn all 4 wheel for easy parking.
This is to much. With all those bad drivers the roads is not safe but dangerous.

Neat, but mecanum wheels would be a lot cooler. You could just drive right into the spot.

looks like it was fun to build, cool to see in action, but this is absurdly impractical. plus, that was some of the slowest parallel parking i’ve ever seen. i’m going to verify this, but i see people routinely parallel park in 10 seconds or so in the city.

It’s kinda useless …. and it takes up a lot of trunk space. What’s the cost for saving a “claimed” 20 seconds. What if I can parallel park quicker than 41?

People should learn to drive.

That device would be too expensive

I would love to see someone’s reaction to this on the streets.

Heh, here in the UK you’ve got to know how to parallel park for your driving test, so most brits (at least those who passed their tests after it’s inclusion) don’t have much trouble with it.
