For most of drivers, especially in big cities, one problem that has always been a worry is the moment of parking. The space is not enough, they have to spend a huge amount of time, and when they finally get it, the job is not perfect. I bet they most of people who have suffer from this kind of events have desire having a car that parks by itself… well, it might be possible in the future!
Last month in Tokio, during the CEATEC exhibition the NISSAN company presented a new prototype of a car that can drives itself and find a parking space with no mistakes… and no driver.
This project, not only includes the functions that were mentioned before, but also it counts with an application for your smartphone that allows an overview and status of the car. By using this method, you can get a notification that provides the location of the car and if someone is trying to do anything dangerous to your property.
The recent video shows a demonstration of how the car works. It was controlled with a Galaxy S III, so if you already have one, or if you are thinking of getting this new device, get ready for the future.

Do you think cars like this would be a benefit for humankind,?
Think about the present. Would ir be possible for this invention to finally drive on the streets, or it is just another creation that will remain as a prototype forever?
I personally believe it is not a good idea to have cars controlling themselves. History has made it clear that there is no such thing as a perfect technology. Anything can fail at any momento and if this new invention is about having cars without control, people's lives are clearly in danger. I think we should stop using technology for everything because I'm sure we are going to pay a price.
