tlbullet Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Anybody else cringe watching the Hyundai smaht pahk commercial last night??? I couldnt be the only Adams member.!!!! I was thinking... Great invention....but how the heck do the other drivers get back into their cars with smashing the crap out of your door???? For those who didnt catch it...Hyundai has something called smart park (they did it with a Boston accent) ..if you find a parking spot at the mall which would be too tight to pull into and actually open up u car doors to exit....u exit ur car before parking...then hit some button and the car pulls into the space..door handle to door handle. Except the parking spot is sooo tight that either car next to u can open their doors. Nice looking car I might add. I actually went online to see if it was a joke. Nope its real folks! please tell me im not the only one!! 2Fords 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnrod Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'm with you. Thought the technology is cool but that just screams trouble either from door dings or from other angry commuters who are blocked out of their vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I know that if my car couldn't fit into a space near other cars and get the door opened, it wouldn't be parked there. However, the technology sure would have been great when I used to have put cars in trailers and get them out. More than once I had to go in or come out through a window with some of the bigger cars. Latching the vehicles down was not a problem since the trailer had a front door, it was just getting them in and out that was the challenge. tlbullet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason i would see a need for that is trailering cars (pretty sure not many people tow hyundai’s) ...or squeezing 3 cars into a 2 car garage!

Brownie 303 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The "summon" feature on my buddies tesla backs so slow and careful that people walking have ended up yelling for it to hurry up! I only need a "rotate your wheels for cleaning" function 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlbullet Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 i did see a guy use that feature on his tesla ..def odd watching the guy waiting for his driverless Tesla to pull up. It was creeping along... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Seems like a classic case of "solution without a problem". tlbullet and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It would be a nice feature for people who have small garages or too much stuff in the garage which makes parking tight. tlbullet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter! They have a small one car garage attached to their house, shelving with kids junk in the back, my son in law's workbench on one side, and garbage cans on the other side, all inside. Their brand new Explorer has about 5 inches to spare on the driver's side, just enough that one of them can pull it out for everyone else to get into. Tight fit!
