The now-famous "parallel parking" video is taking on a whole new life, as some speculate that it's actually a teaser for a soon-to-be-announced affordable automatic parking technology: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/is-hyunda...tra-an-autobot/

What's more, check out the button to the lower-left of the climate control dial:

If this is actually true, somebody in Hyundai's marketing department is sure having fun with it.

I doubt it will have auto park. More likely it will be proximity sensors and alert.
Look from 55 seconds:
The wheel is turned left and the car backs up. Then the wheel straightens up but goes beyond straight and has to correct. That doesn’t look like the motions of a computer.
Static sensors are cheap and easy. Full control is a lot more expensive, especially in a lower model.

More evidence that this is for real:

It does seem hard to believe that an Elantra would receive this feature, but here we are.

And now it's official... at least in the Avante.

"The new Avante will delight and surprise with a raft of other advanced features not found on other compacts, including Smart Parking Assist System (SPAS) that assist the driver when parking between two cars parked in single file by automatically controlling only the steering wheel using ultrasonic sensors"
