The comments refer to the parking mode on a model of Ford, during which the lights flash... Later, she appears to activate it from the key.

Still, odd reaction of the guard... ok, at one point there may have been some resemblance to the movie The Ring, but still...

That site has some funny stuff but the comments section is filled entirely with morons.

I suppose a self-park mode that can operate after you get out makes a lot of sense. You can park in a much more confined space if you don't need the doors to operate.

Yes, but I am surprised it would be on the market... VW also has a self park system, but the driver has to operate throttle and brakes, the car just steers. And as such, the driver maintains full responsibility. So I'm not too convinced it is this (or it might be rigged).
