This is pretty much what I suspected it to be but with fewer mechanical gizmos to do the job. I'm not a fan of such a system which, to my way of thinking is likely to be more trouble than it's worth. Again, I'm glad they didn't export this to the USA. I'll stick with low-speed rws as the practical application of such technology, for use in parking a trailer, getting into a very tight spot, or for parallel parking (maybe other low-speed uses - my list is not complete). Thanks for the info.
