You have subscribe to an sms facility and it tracks your location using some sort of cell phone feature.. (or i think u can send it a query for parking indicating the location). The service then sends u back an sms telling you the nearest location where the parking is available! There is an app that has come up in MA for this parking nuisance..

I was thinking more on the lines of the rear view screen being placed in the center of the dashboard and definitely away from the rear view mirror. Users can optionally use this feature to back-up. There's a lil bit of learnability involved here just like most other car features. Yes, placing the video on/(along with) the rear view mirror can get really confusing for users.

I heard somebody talk about a friend who has this car and experienced a 'usability problem' with this feature. The rearview mirror shows you a live 'video' of the stuff behind the car while you're reversing and that gets a bit disorienting because you have to orient yourself to the 'reverse-reverse direction', if you know what I mean.
