Seems like it might be a pretty useful feature for the "parking challenged".

I wonder what it adds in cost to the vehicle?

Yeah. It would be tough to get used to taking your hands off of the wheel and stepping on the gas. Kinda goes against everything you were taught when learning to drive.

Geez, I met a guy in his mid to late 30's last week who has never driven a stick. Now we will have people who can't even park. God help us.

I have a 24 year old Son-in-law that was raised on a dairy farm and can't drive a stick or ride a motorcycle. One would think with all of the machinery and whatnot he could drive anything. Guess not.
