Ford Active Park Assist: In Action!

We gave you the info late last night about Ford's new Active Park Assist. Now here's video of the system in action along with the first look at the 2010 MKS's paddle shifters.

Ford's Active Park Assist looks to be much more controlled than the system Lexus debuted on the LS460 and will be available as an option on the 2010 Lincoln MKS and the upcoming 2010 Lincoln MKT crossover that will debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month.

Active Park Assist will accompany Ford's new Electric Power Assisted Steering in the 2010 Lincoln MKS and MKT and will be featured in the rest of Ford's lineup in 2012.

A new six-speed auto-transmission with steering wheel flappy paddle shifters will be available on the 2010 Lincoln MKS and upcoming 2010 Ford Taurus. You'll notice them in the video above if you're paying attention. It's the first time these new shifters have been spotted in the wild.

I am actually surprised how quick it parks! People are actually raving about this system and I hope it helps out thousands of older citizens who takes more than 5 minutes to park their car.

No hard feelings, I just saw this and thought of this picture =]

j/k LoL

LOL! BMW has one that parks in garages by itself. You actually GET OUT of the car, and it folds the mirrors in and drives itself. :)

I'm fond of these systems because MAY people can't park worth sh!t out here. In fact, I used to give out @ssh0le awards to people that parked like crap.

I wish there'd be a law against parking 1 car in 2 parking spots.
