Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

If you are a little round in the middle, like this writer, you will know how tricky it can by to get in and out of a car parked in a tight space.

Ford is the latest to come up with a solution to this, showing off technology they say will allow the car to park on its own, in perpendicular parks, without the driver.

Already the Ford Focus Titanium as well the Kuga Titanium are available with ‘active park assist’, which semi-automatically parallel parks the car. The driver just operates the brakes and accelerator.
