So I just saw a nearly FIVE YEAR OLD video on YouTube, that has a preposterously low three hundred odd thousand views (which means, only an average of eighty thousand people see this in a year), but leaves me forced to ask, why isn’t this standard on every car?

I’m talking of course about the parallel parking device, invented by students at the University of Toledo.

The device is fairly simple–a set of hydraulics raises the back end of the car slightly off the ground and, via a separate control, allows the back end to be moved, horizontally, effectively “swinging” it into a parking space.  The video of same is directly below.

Now, I don’t know about you, but if a handful of college kids could put this on themselves, I don’t know how this isn’t standard on every car.  It can’t cost that much–as I said, college kids put it on.  And helpful?  You can rest assured it would be.  This is the kind of thing we need a lot more of.
