BMW 5 Series Parking Assist Disaster :)
Saw this on the news today.
http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vi...fail.wpbf.html So much for too much automation and too much dependence on cars to do simple tasks for you. |

this is not a parking assist fail. this is an idiot fail. the system is only for parallel parking. this person was parking in a normal spot, so parking assist wouldnt even enable. second point, and the most important point, is that even if you were using parking assist, the car does not accelerate on its own. you have to push the gas/brake. the car does not have the ability to accelerate on its on. so no, this is not a parking assist fail. this is a stupid driver who made a bad mistake and is trying to blame the car.

This guy can sue BMW if he wants, but he will fail because in manuals is writen that this system does not relive the driver of his responsibility, but i think this guy did not read the manuals or he tried getting money from BMW or his insurance company.

Yep, definite driver error, trying to pass it onto BMW. Good luck with that.

Haha what a dumbass, and he's trying to blame BMW when he must have squeezed the gas pedal on accident.
Yes that does NOT look like a car that has the feature. In order to have parking assistant, you MUST get that 'camera package' which has the cameras in the front bumper in front of the wheel, and those side markers have the sensors as described, which this car does not appear to have.. |

Operator error, plain and simple. Forgot the brake pedal is the one on the left.

The park assist does not automatically come with top and side view camera; it is a separate package. |

I have this in my F10 and it works like a charm. No need to control brake, accelerator or steering - only nerves !

1. The rims 2. The headlight assembly has the LED blinkers. So no, this car wouldn't be able to accelerate on its own. Also, the LCI model would've stopped on its own because the sensors would be beeping like mad since it was so close to the other car. It surely wouldn't run it over. |
