"It hates Fords" :lol:

It's hard to make out in the video, but is the self parking for parallel parking only per chance? Cause the last attempt to park, it acts like it is trying to parallel park.

If you can't do the following you ARE NOT allowed to drive.

1. Pump your own gas
2. Park your own car
3. Use your turn signal

Well according to the video, it has the option for parallel and perpendicular parking, but you're right, it does look like its trying to parallel park. Possibly they are just too dumb to work it haha.

New Jersey and Oregon are the only two states that don't allow self serve.

It has been and still is illegal in NJ and OR for years now.

The Garden State is one of two states where it's illegal to fill 'er up yourself. Only gas station owners or employees can pump gas in New Jersey and Oregon -- "the only two states atavistic, sadistic, and masochistic enough to still require thousands of 'professionals' to waste time, money, and inconvenience customers," according to one columnist.
The ban on self-service gas stations is a highly combustible issue and makes for some heated debates. New Jersey passed the law making it illegal to pump your own gas in 1949. At the time, legislators felt it was too dangerous to have untrained people dispensing such a flammable liquid.

That may have been sensible at the time, but pumping gas is much safer today, and some motorists feel the ban is outdated and needs to go. Opponents of the law argue that removing it would lower the cost of gas and make refueling much quicker and more convenient. Proponents of the ban argue that it creates jobs and customers like full service.

Whatever your position on the matter, next time you're in Jersey and need to refuel, take the opportunity to relax in the comfort of your car while the gas station attendant does the dirty work.

[shock6791]

I couldn't believe it when I was in NJ. I got out of my car and tried to pump my gas and the attenedant freaked out and ran over to stop me.

[NotoriousGreaseMonkey]

[Benjamin]

Or white sauce which is why you need to send me a gallon!!!

[knighthawks97]

Since only gas attendants can pump gas because they are "highly trained," do they have to go to school to learn and certify to be a gas pumper?

What if you fail gas pumping school?:cry:

[J8127]
