Wait, did you build your garage for the car? What were you doing before self-parking cars?

- taf2 10y agoWe used to park in the driveway - I have to park inside now to reach the power plug - but I see three benefits 1 my car is nice and clean most of the time now 2 no more gas station dirty hands on the gas pump, I'm OCD umk 3 I get to watch my car pull out of the garage every morning in amazement :)

- cptskippy 10y agoI'm not sure why it is, but a lot of 100 year old houses have garages that are just big enough to fit a car in and not be able to open the doors. Car dimensions really haven't grown all that much, the Ford model T was 66 inches wide and most modern sedans are ~70-75 inches. Maybe they were never intended for cars? Maybe it was a cost savings thing? Homes that are only 50-75 years old seem to have larger carports instead of garages. * I answered my own questions. A model T was 66 inches wide but had 8 inch running boards on either side so the crew cabin is closer to 50 inches. The doors, if it had them, would be shorter as well. A model S is 77 inches wide so that's probably 24 inches difference in clearance.
