“You have a backup camera and auto park, you don’t have to turn around or physically see behind you at all, ever” is not an acceptable attitude. Even if you are a comically stupid imaginary fashion model. Just no. Not to mention the blatant sexism, from only caring whether she can look pretty in it, to not being able to park. Just no to this entire thing.

Paging Torchinsky?

Howzabout petitioning for a better driver’s ed rather than software and assists and shit?

Don’t make the car a better driver, make the driver a better driver.

Even if you have a backup camera, you should still look behind you. This is a pretty terrible commercial.

I’ve mentioned this almost every time the subject turns to backup cameras, but I once had an old lady in a Tribeca back into my parked Thunderbird because she “couldn’t see it” in her backing camera. Still makes me mad years later.

Gasp! That's impossible! It's not like every other developed nation has better drivers ed than us!

Yeah, I’m sure that happens all the time. It’s at the same level of ridiculous as people following their GPS into rivers. And now manufacturers are actively encouraging it, by advertising safety systems like collision avoidance and parking sensors as “hey! Now you can do other shit and let the car drive for you!”

Can’t believe that ad came from the same blokes who made this film.

Cars should not have infotainment systems. Yeah, I said it.

Is this Ford’s take of “grounded to the ground” marketing?

Can’t listen to the audio because work, but this is a joke right? Kate McKinnon is a comedian... How are you taking this seriously?

I know they’re trying to be funny. It’s not actually funny, though, and it doesn't seem like they're joking when they say you don't have to turn around because you have park assist.

just watched with sound. Pretty dumb, which is sad because she is my favorite person on SNL. Why don’t people realize that backup cameras are SUPPLEMENTAL to looking around because modern cars have shitty visibility.
