It will be interesting to see this in operation. While I don't have problems backing up I know some people that cannot back up a trailer at all. Ford F-150 getting trailer backup assist feature that takes your hands off the wheel | Fox News

Pro Trailer Backup Assist? There's nothing "Pro" about being unable to manually back up a trailer.

I'm of the opinion that if you are incapable of manually backing up a trailer you have no business towing a trailer...it's not difficult to do with a bit of practice. Sadly, I'm sure there's going to be lots of people who can barely wait to get their hands on those trucks.

More dumbification of society. Seriously, are there still any licence holders out there that are still capable of driving their vehicle?
Sad.
