Linux-Powered Auto-Parking Car

megmag writes "A really cool project using a Linux P4 machine for automatic parking of a Volvo S60 was presented last week. Take a look at the video. That's how your parking problem should be solved. It is a final-year student project within the mechanical engineering department at Linköping University, Sweden."

    Here I was, looking at the article and two things light up in my eyes.

    No comments yet, and the word "Video" in the article.

    Choices, Choices. On the one hand there's the elusive first post. Chased after by geeks for some unknown reason over the ages.

    On the other hand, there's an arguably cool video about a car that parks itself.

    If I go for the first post, by the time I'm done writing "FP blah blah" the video will be dead.

    Oh well, screw first post. I'm probably one of the .000004% of people who clicked on that link who will actually got to see the car have parked itself.

    It was cool.

    It was probably modded flamebait because the post suggests, however innocently, that women are the problem. Which is ironic because I would imagine that men cause more traffic problems, considering the lower rates that women typically pay. Especially teenaged males.
