For some reason I assumed all brand new cars would have automatic parking breaks... Must only be for the mid/high range ones then

Edit: it was a Patrol. I guess the people who hate the electronification of cars can be happy that they're still making some with a focus on physical/mechanical controls

My car is a Honda from 2015 so maybe it’s changed, but I don’t know any car that has an automatic parking break, so that sounds cool. At the same time, if they put it in park it shouldn’t have rolled unless it was a sharp incline. If it was a manual on the other hand…
