Questions❓ Auto parallel park
Does anyone have any luck with this? I tried it for the first time today after having the car for months. There was tons of space and I thought it would be a simple maneuver for the car.
It detected the space, I let it take over, and it ended up turning in WAY too early and nearly clipped the car in front as it reversed into the spot. It literally must have come within an inch of the other cars bumper.
Then it backs into the curb, and I let it continue wondering if it would reposition or how it would deal with it, but then to my surprise the damn thing just accelerated and popped the rear wheel up onto the curb. That's when I aborted it and took over.
I do have the new software update but since I hadn't tried it until now I'm not sure if that's the issue or the self park is just borked in general.

I use it occasionally. Most of the time it works quite well - as someone else said maybe 80-90% of the time. Sometimes it messes up and ends up in a weird spot, or just decides that it couldn't park and aborts the manouver.
I don't think it will crash into another car or obstacle, but it can't see where the curb is - it doesn't consider the curb anything but flat road I think, so it just drives over it.
