e-gear is not really an automatic, so there "is no park" per se, like in a Caddy. All maneuls, even semi-autos, like the e-gear, need to be "in gear" plus the ebrake to insure the car doesn't roll on inclines. Also, the wheels should always be turned to the curb on any steep parking situation in case the safety features fail. This is a type of blending & melding the new with the old.
