I like the blind spot detection, high beam detection and the lane departure somewhat so I may get that package anyway for $1350 but personally the self parking is not a feature that I am interested in.
My own personal thoughts in order of usefulness
Active Blind Spot Detection - Very helpful, but bright sunlight makes it hard to see sometimes
Parking Assistant - Helpful, especially if it's dark and raining, or you are in a place unfamiliar to you
Automatic high beams - Somewhat helpful, especially in less dense area, city lights, it's pointless.
Lane Departure Warning - Marginally helpful, pay attention to the road, and you'll be fine you multitasking maverick
