Cool new things sometimes don't get the advertising they deserve. A nifty innovation's nifty innovativeness is enough, the thinking often goes—just show the thing in action, and let the viewer feel quietly impressed. Sometimes this is wise, especially if the newfangled thing is complicated or multi-faceted. (Think of the first iPhone spots.) But as DDB Argentina shows in this new Volkswagen Tiguan spot, some new technologies can benefit wonderfully from being part of a fun, inspired and unexpected little story.

The technology here is park assist—the ingenious little space-agey auto feature that somehow enables cars to park themselves.
