I rented a Ford Focus in France at the end of last year which could park itself either in a car park (i.e. cars parallel to each other) or parallel park at the side of the road. I tried it parallel parking on a bend with a big drop next to it (so no walls to figure out where it should stop), and once I figured out which button to press it worked quite well.You still have to manually shift from forward to reverse (when it prompted you) and use the brake, but other than that it's hands off. The best feature of this car wasn't this, but the technology that powers it - sensors all around the car to detect how close you are to something. It had a small indicator on the dashboard to let you know the distances.
