"Authorities are baffled as to what to charge the unnamed driver as his unmanned SUV plowed through a picnic full of blind orphans. Witnesses say they could hear a faint "ERROR ERROR" being emitted from the car as the man ran behind the vehicle"  :rofl:

I like how the d-bag that parked too close to the LR was a BMW.  Seriously?  a little subtle there, no, JLR?   :rofl2:

This seems a little gimmicky, but I actually think it's kind of wonderful.

I love it.  I'm sure it doesn't let you go faster than you can run for safety reasons.  I think it could be very handy in tight parking lot situations like the one in the video.  It won't be used very often, but it's good to have an option when you need it.

And to think, if I drove a SUV, and someone parked too close to me for me to get in, my line of thought is always to open the tailgate, crawl in, and climb my way into the driver's seat...
