I think Ford's automated parallel parking feature of that vintage left something to be desired - my 2015 F-150 Platinum can do it but will scare the bejesus out of you because it will come within 6 inches of the vehicle in front regardless of how much room it has behind. That why I've only used it very rarely. Though I did perform one of the fastest parallel parking jobs in history the first time I tried it - I didn't realize you still needed to use the brake and gave myself a mild case of whiplash..

I had a chance to try out the Advanced Park feature in my NX today. I am happy to report that it worked flawlessly between two cars in a Walmart parking lot. I am going to try the parallel parking next when I get a chance.
The car did everything by itself with one push button and a touch on the screen.
