Should parallel parking be tested?

Unless you own a Holden.
I have a GEN-F and tried the car auto parking 5 times
- Twice, right rear wheel hit curb, leaving front out on road
- Left car parked about 2' from the curb (unbelievable)
- Stopped it as it would have scraped the wheel on the curb
- Got it right once!!

Only tried it for the novelty, but...

Saw one of my FPV GT's (and another car) being used in a touch park exercise.

This is the life we live in now.
