If there’s a new current trend in cars, excluding the ecological aspect and “green car“, it’s the number of tests and ideas of robotic cars which are appearing.
Volkswagen has invented a car prototype (a robotic Passat) that reverse parks all by itself, and while executing a controlled slide if you please!
How many people are capable of carrying out this type of maneuver successfully? Very few.
The Passat reverses at 40 km/h, puts on the breaks and does a 180 degree turn to park in a restricted space.
