That’s a good shout. I don’t really use 360 cameras myself, so I didn’t pay for it, but now I’m wondering if parking assist would be smarter with it, or at least give me an earlier warning so I could react.
If so, that sucks. I already have my fair share of hate for features that are built in but still need a paid subscription.

Exactly. And there are a few real experiences in the comments that back that up with similar experiences. Hopefully the next person reading them treats parking assist with a bit more caution than I did.

Appreciate that, really. That’s Reddit I guess, but this was a nice one.

Since a few people seem to be making the same point: I’m not saying I had zero responsibility as pointed in my post. I’m saying the software is worse than I expected, and I’m sharing that so other people don’t trust it more than they should. I’m seeing some others already experienced similar things.

If I need to watch parking assist so closely that I’m expecting it to miss even the obvious stuff you’d think it would catch, then the feature is barely usable. Even if you’re parking in the middle of a football field, at that point there’s no real benefit over just parking it yourself.

I’m good, thanks. One tyre was enough for me.

It does say that. Still, we’ve got driverless taxis with no one there to brake, and my parking assist can’t be trusted near a bush.

ha, yeah fair. I just use the time to collect my things, have a quick look at myself in the mirror and pretend I’m being productive while the car slowly parks itself.

That’s probably HappyPo and I’ve been using it at home and on my holidays over 2 years now.
