LS460 - Auto Parking Feature Question
How tight a space can the LS460 squeeze itself into. Of course, you wouldn't ever want to park your $75000 luxury car in a tight space to begin with but I'm curious about the minimum space requirements for the LS460 to park itself.

Well, yeah...it isn't you, it's the idiot in the '89 Ford Taurus parked in front of you who backs into your bumper because he can't judge distances properly. I would have to say parallel parking an 85K car in a tight space remains not recommended, regardless of the technological assist Lexus can give you. It's the other guy you can't trust.

You're Right
Damn Right
the LS will be my ONLY car, so I have to take it to the supermarket etc. The only thing I can do is park it FAR away from other cars. During the Winter in New York, that will be hard, but if you do not want dings and scratches, then walk you must.

I like to park far away but when I come back to my car someone is all ways parked right next to me. Funny thing is, there is usually alot spaces available.

It is as if some people need another car as a reference point to park. Why don't they look at the lines painted in the lot?

You must promise to park and walk, as the LS460 does NOT (at least not on my LS460L) have side protection/rub strips on the doors! I just realized that and made my wife promise to engage in safe parking...

i guess it makes sense. If you see a nice car, you automatically think the person will take care of it.
I read about the No Protection thing on the side of the car. I wonder if there will be any after market solutions. More important it will have to look pretty good if you are going to put something on the already magnificent car. I don't want some yokell putting crazy glue on the side of my car.

I still think its a nice feature to have when parking at night or during downpours.
I wonder what would happen if a person runs between cars when LS is on this autopark feature? This happens to me almost everytime i park in the city; I've lost count of how many people I've bumped over the years. Would the car sense someone is there or would it just crush them?
This is a bit of topic but i really like the "hold" feature on the steering wheel. I was able to see how it works this past Saturday in Belmont, very nice feature to have in stop and go traffic.

You are still braking, the car is only steering the wheel, so you would have to brake if someone jumped in the way.
I read somewhere it needed something like one and a half car lengths to park itself...
