A story by Florida's WKMG-TV Local 6 news says that Toyota's Intelligent Parking Assistant option for the Prius will be offered in the United States. We looked at this technology at the Geneva Auto Show, at which time Toyota said the option would be available only in Japan and the United Kingdom. I'm a bit skeptical as to whether it will be offered here, given the liability, so I've called Toyota's press relations team for confirmation. Once they get back to me with an answer, I'll report it in this space.
