Boss-drivers will park a Lamborghini Diablo with no rear visibility while smoking a cigar and looking at a girl's backside. But there are some drivers out there that can't even park a smart fortwo. For them, all these new self-parking systems coming out on cars this year seem like a message from god. Is it?
The Fast Lane car took the 2014 Jeep Cherokee out to see if the system works. And what do you know? It basically doesn't.

It took them 15 minutes to get the Jeep into a normal bay. The first try could have ended in a crash were it not for the people around the car who were telling the female driver what to do.

These self-parking systems are actually created by private companies and adopted by various automakers, so chances are, other systems work just as "well" in the real world.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
