Have you ever driven your car into a tight parking spot then had trouble driving out? Just push and hold down the rewind button. Your car will do the exact reverse of what you did to get it in. When you’re out in the open, release the button and drive away.
How to park your car

Ha! Good point! And note that parallel parking (and unparking, I guess) is one of the things robotic drivers are good at. |

I just drive my flying Jetsons car, and it folds up into a briefcase. |

According to Dr Rebecca Hoyle at Surrey University, the formula is:
p = r - w / 2, g=> w + 2r + b, f => w + 2r - fg, max[(r + w / 2)^2 + f^2, (r + w / 2)^2 + b^2] <= [(2r)^2, (r + w / 2 + k)^2]
which most of us knew anyway. |

Nuthin’ can do it better than “Herbie the Love Bug”. |

The gunrack in the back window probably didn't hurt none. |

<pluterday, having just scraped the unlucky car in the adjacent spot while parking, presses the rewind button, assuming that this is your standard time reversal feature to get pluter out of trouble, and scrapes the unlucky car again, backing out.> Damn! |

Einstein said we live in a Riemannian universe which has no parallel lines, so parallel parking is actually physically impossible. But if you are having trouble, just call Asymptote Man! |

And just hope no-one's parked closer to you than the cars that were there when you parked up. |
