- Afton 8y agoWouldn't generally work in Seattle, where you need to move at least a block. Also, it's a liability nightmare if something bad happens. Seems like a poor mechanism to avoid a few minutes work...
- Latteland 8y agoit would be the "operator's" fault, mean the person driving aka the person with the remote keyfob or phone.
- pmiller2 8y agoMost places I know of are like that. I don't see what the ability to move your car ~40 feet into another parking spot is good for in this case. Actually, I'm having trouble seeing what it's good for at all.
- jiveturkey 8y agoit's explained in the feature description. it helps you get into or out of the car in a tight spot. lets you park like an asshole into a tight compact spot.
- toast0 8y agoAlternatively, it let's you park like an asshole next to a Tesla and not worry about it?
- stcredzero 8y agoWouldn't generally work in Seattle, where you need to move at least a block. My understanding is that in Oakland, you have to move out of the entire parking zone. Apparently, they punch the license plate numbers into a device.
- jacques_chester 8y ago> I’m not even sure it’s illegal, really. I don't think that will take long to patch.
- jjeaff 8y agoI don't know, the patch release schedule of governments tends to be extremely slow.
