Self parking cars sound really cool. Auto pilot would be even better, but it's kind of scary. You are really putting your life in the hands of the machine.

This "autonomous braking" car in the Dominican Republic was supposed to show off how it could automatically stop. That's why the people watching it didn't get out of the way when it plowed them over.

If you're going to test a 4,000 pound vehicle's ability to stop by itself when it encounters an object, it might be wise to use a non-human inanimate object to test the ability to stop on it's own.
