Imagine if a few had gone mainstream though: it looks like they could parallel park so tight that cars in front of or behind might be unable to get out.

In my experience cars that have that system can both get in and out for you.
He means cars that do NOT have the feature may be unable to get out, as they may be trapped by cars that have the feature and park extremely close
That happens all the time without the system though. People who drive tiny little cars that turn on a dime routinely underestimate the space it takes for a big van or whatever to get out.
Does he? He said imagine if that feature is mainstream - so I'm assuming other cars also have this system.

Also, I don't understand why you'd blame the system if anyone gets "trapped" - you have your own eyes, no? Even when you park manually you have to judge if others can still leave. If the computer parks for you in such a way that makes others unable to leave.....then park somewhere else????? What is it with absolving people of personal responsibility all the time.

how can he know that guy do not have car with new function?
