I did do some more research before sending a huge complaint to Toyota. So the newer cars DO have that technology (of not running into kids in the front) but it's with the Parking Assist feature. What's auto parallel parking got to do with avoid hitting a little kid in the front? Which makes NO sense not being included in the other pedestrian features. And I've used that auto parallel parking in the Prius and not a fan....it goes WAY too fast for my comfort level.
