I have always loved those type of videos. Cool invention, but it would not work for me, my spares are usually always flat :4_11_9:

I've always heard about this but never saw it in actual operation. Cool deal!

Almost like the self-parking cars now available.

That is reallly cool. I was afraid he was going to hit the rear bumper on the side of the garage when he spun it around in the driveway--it would take a little bit of trial and error to know exactly where you needed to be in order to do something like that. Still pretty neat though. As far as the new cars that park themselves, I would be scared to death to let go of the wheel and let it park itself, doesn't seem natural. And what happens when the car misjudges the space and hits the other car? That would be fun trying to explain to the insurance company. No thanks, I will park it myself.
