The video, taken with a mobile phone, shows a man having problems with the Mercedes’ automatic self-parking technology.

At first it looks as if the automatic self-parking technology parks his car correctly.

But when the car moves forward, it collides head-on with another vehicle.

Seconds before the accident, the man says, “Will it hit the car?”

The driver was shocked after the high-end car hit another vehicle.

The video’s caption reads, “First and last time I use self-parking.”

It had more than 67,000 likes and 914 comments on TikTok.

Most TikTok users refuse to use this system and advise drivers to stop relying on it.

One said, “That’s why I’ll never use mine.”

Another said: “Guess that’s the sign I shouldn’t even try to use mine.”

A third pointed out: “I’m not even tempted to use mine on my BMW.”

Other users have been in the same situation.

One said: “It happened to me in my Peugeot 207. I wouldn’t use it again.”

Another said: “Used this on my Range Rover never again haha.”
