If someone would try to park a car this way outside a restaurant or plaza in my city, he would earn a "clown treatment" from the people around, maybe some tomatoes, buuhhhs and insults and of course envy lol.

If I had this in my car I would use it maybe at home just to geek for the first weeks.
Agreed -- in public parking lots (car parks) it'd be ridiculous and a little douche-y at that. However, the point made earlier about tight garages at home resonate with me (since I have a very tight single-car garage). This feature could take the pain out of tossing the car in the garage -- would be awesome not to have to worry about leaving enough space to get out after switching it off.
