If an applicant has a self-parking vehicle, what must they do for the road test?

The requirement to test in a different vehicle or deactivate the self-parking feature is essential for ensuring that the applicant demonstrates their driving skills and control of the vehicle. During a road test, driving examiners assess the applicant's ability to operate the vehicle safely and competently in various driving situations. Relying on a self-parking feature could give an inaccurate representation of the applicant’s driving abilities, as it may perform tasks automatically that the driver should be able to handle themselves.

Using a conventional vehicle allows the examiner to observe how the applicant responds to real-time driving challenges and maneuvers without assistance from automated features. Therefore, applicants with self-parking vehicles must either deactivate this feature or use a different vehicle to ensure they can demonstrate manual driving proficiency effectively.
