(Must refrain from terrible dog puns, must refrain from terrible dog puns.)
Howl (damn!) would you like to see a dog parallel park a car? Yes? Then you are in luck as Vauxhall have been able to offer that very thing, in the form of Gerty the Boxer being left to paw-rallel park a Vauxhall Corsa in Wimbledon High Street, leaving passer-bys dog-smacked. Gerty sat in the driver's seat with no human assistance as the Corsa slotted itself into the vacant spot on the high street.
Gerty gave a quote, which after translated from woof, read: “People are often worried, even scared of parallel parking, especially if you’ve just passed your test and driving in busy, built-area. Through my acting debut in the Corsa with Advanced Park Assist I’ve demonstrated how this technology can help you find a parking space and steer you into the spot. You’d be barking mad, not to try it out.”
The Advance Bark - sorry, Park - Assist is now available as an optional extra on the new Vauxhall Corsa which is available from the very reasonable £8,995. You can Gerty in action in the video below:
