I was reading through the RS7 in-depth piece on this site's home page, and came across something kind of interesting:

"The park assist system with 360° display, another high-end system, handles steering instead of the driver. "

Does that mean the RS7 self-parks?

I found the original source on the Audi USA news site...

The Order Guide shows it the RS7 system as "Audi parking system plus with rearview camera", with an upgrade to corner cameras in the Driver Assistance plus package (which I think will be nice).

P.S. Of course, there's the usual disclaimer at the bottom: "The equipment and data specified in this document refer to the model range offered in Germany. Subject to change without notice; errors and omissions excepted."

So it looks like it is available on the European spec cars. I did a build of an RS6 on audi.co.uk and did see a Park Assist option (only £410). The description says it does self-park...

I thought Audi is the luxury brand for people who can park themselves...

Nice (and ironic). Since the self-park option is only available in Europe, I guess I'll have no choice but to learn how to do this maneuver in my RS7...

Step one, turn the ESP off...

Personally, I am not thrilled by self-park since Lexus introduced the option. Lack of control of the vehicle.
