reprinted from SMH Westfield the week before Christmas, Surry Hills for Sunday brunch, Bondi on a hot summer weekend – it’s the stuff of nightmares for Sydney drivers. But futurist Morris Miselowski believes the agony of searching for a car park may soon come to an end. Intellige.

The window between a signal arriving and it demanding a response is shortening. Self-parking cars is already shaping strategy conversations in forward-looking organisations. Treating it as a future concern rather than a present one builds a preparedness gap that will have to be closed under pressure.

The most important question is not whether Self-parking cars will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
