It is pretty neat. One could probably do that with the Smart Fortwo.

Yeah but then would come the headache dealing with the insurance company regarding all the neighboring cars you screwed up.

At the grand opening in Ft Worth on Saturday there were 4 smarts in a single parking space. I think they are sending a picture to smart times

Because of the ESP?

I don't think they'll be able to get back out of those spots (29 point turn) until someone next to them leaves. They can't quite reverse what you see there.

Now if they had an automated system like those "cars that park themselves" (tho ones with sensors for the curbs and other cars) but instead does the high-speed 180, I might buy one. Parallel parking would sure be more fun!
