It's less about the parking and more about knowing how to control your vehicle and maneuver it. This sort of technology is an enabler to people who shouldn't be driving in the first place. I know that sounds like a crass comment but it's true. When I took my driver's test decades ago, this was part of the test.

along those same lines...the first thought I had when I started seeing the commercials for the self-parking, self-braking and other autonomous/semi-autonomous features on current production models was...I don't have to pay attention...the car will save me. at least that's the message I took from the commercials and I'm likely not alone and that concerns me.

Ya, there is some concern for that - similar to what has been revealed on some lessons learned on aircraft incidents years back, the pilots don't retain the training on how to actually fly in an emergency.
