    1. Thank you for being the first student in year 7A to publish your comment on the article. Well done. Even better if you can answer my question on what technology was used to enable the car to pack itself?

  2. I’m not sure whether or not I would let this car park its self because it might malfunction and crash. You would ruin your car and somebody else’s. If you had to pay for your car and someone else’s, it would cost a lot of money. The article says that they use an obstacle avoidance technology. In my opinion everyone wants to show off with their fancy car but cars are just to take you from one place to another. It really doesn’t matter so long as you have one that is efficient for you.

  4. I would not let the car park itself as accident could arise, it is better for individuals to park their own car as with machines if malfunction occurs, people life my be at threat.

  6. I wouldnt trust a car to park itself, if it malfunctions it will crash and leave you with a heavy bill to pay.....

  10. This may not be appropiate, what if you loose the car when it parks itself? it may drive away and be somewhere you didnt leave it. I also think that is very dangerous, sometimes systems crash so what if the car system crashed whilst parking crashing into the two cars either side of it, who do you blame the crash on? who would pay for? Its not a good, well thought of idea despite it being clever.

  11. where you have to press a button to park in a tight area, the button allows the car user to park where 'the driver does not have room to open the doors' but how will you get out of the car if you cant open the door.

  12. This is quite helpful to the people that struggle to park their car, it's less stressful. I wouldn't really let the car park it self, I would rather learn from my mistakes.

  14. This is quite helpful to the people that struggle to park their car, it's less stressful. I wouldn't really let the car park it self, because otherwise people will lose their skill on parking quick and smoothly.
    However, it's not useful because criminals such as thieves can steal the handset from the owers and probably can rob their cars or damage it.

    In my own thoughts, I think that it is helpful for difficult parking spaces or for quick emergencies/troubles. But, in the future if this develops, then non-drivers will not look-out to park after they get lessons and this would lead to troubles on lots of roads by not having skillful driving techniques.

  15. I think this is a great technology with sensors to guide the car into the parking space without hitting any other cars However this ay also be very dangerous as if something were to go wrong in the wires the car could go out of control. This is why I would not let my car park by itself because it could mailfunction and crash.
    However I think this is a great technology that has been created because it could help people who can't park properly learn how to park their car, as this is a skill that is very hard to develop. This might help the future generation and help them park better which could mean ore parking spaces.
