I’ve seen this ad and variations in a couple of places, but let’s talk about the one on the inside cover of today’s NYT Sunday Magazine.

Usually Mercedes Ooh-Pretty-Car ad, very stylish. Main cutline reads:  
\*\*[SIZE=4]Self-braking. Self-correcting. Self-parking.  
Its impact is self-explanatory.  
[/SIZE]\*\*Um… yep. 😃
