So, this is going to be a dumb question but it's an honest one.

If park assist is able to get you into spots you normally wouldn't be able to get into or feel comfortable parking in, how do you get out?

Seriously.

Do you use the back-up cam to back all the way to the vehicle behind you and then just hard left the steering wheel to get out? The F150 doesn't just have a huge ***, it's got a huge head too. And it's a long wide head as well.

It just seems to me that if I couldn't get into a spot myself, I probably couldn't get out of it either.

I have enough problems trying to get out of parallel spots in my GT, because *******s always seem to manage to fit into a spot in front of me and only give me a foot clearance to their back bumper.

Maybe I'm just a horrible driver/parker.

Personally, I think I would be following that car around for a while before completely trusting it.

Audi Piloted Parking (Audi's self-parking car) - YouTube
I can only imagine the reaction from all the of the other people around when that thing is holding up traffic in a parking garage. It would be worse than following some old lady who can barely see over the steering wheel of her suv

I used my backup camera and front cameras when I was trying to get out. Without the front and rear camera I would have had trouble. I still could have got out of the spot but it would have taken a lot of back and forth.

#1- Here in Vegas the hotel, work, and airport parking lots are starting to put in counters. You can see how many spaces are left before you ever pull in.

#2- Why send your truck when a drone can deliver your burger faster? They are working on that as you read this.
