L'auto si “auto-parcheggia”

Tra qualche anno non solo non sarà più un problema parcheggiare, ma neppure trovare uno spazio adeguato lungo le strade dove lasciare la propria autovettura. Un gruppo di ricercatori tedeschi - scrive il Daily Telegraph - sta mettendo a punto un innovativo dispositivo, applicabile su qualsiasi automobile, in grado di rilevare tramite onde radar i parcheggi liberi lungo i marciapiedi di una determinata area e, successivamente, di condurre in automatico le manovre per posteggiare l'auto....

La voglio assolutamente :D
