Park Assist?

Got a quick question that is just bugging the heck out of me..I have a 2006 GS300 AWD it has everything but Park Assist (and Radar Guided Cruise Control). My question is this...why would you not have a backup camera and park assist in the same package since they go hand in hand? I can see what is behind me but do not know how far I am to anything. One of the dumbest things any car manufacturer can do is not make these two into a one package deal.

It's called "Marketing". More money selling each individually!

I'm the other way around. I have park assist but no camera and I have never felt like I needed the camera... the parking sonars are so much more useful for extracting every last tiny bit of space out of parking in the city.
