Beep beep. Very funny. I loved it.
When I got my car licence, if you couldn't park the car properly, you failed. Wouldn't it be better to try to improve driving skills (and especially spacial skills) instead of "dumbing down" driving?
That's not meant to sound like a rant from a Luddite, nor a proclamation from a Sunlight carton...
but it has got me thinking...
What about having a small, urethane tyred wheel embedded in the dirty end of the side stand? Use a high torque stepper motor to drive it. Being a stepper motor, it can be locked/clamped in any position and this could probably prevent the stand from rolling when used for its normal side stand function. Maybe include electrically operated locking mechanisms for either or both the wheel and the side stand itself? Remote control from a phone shouldn't be too hard to work out. The height of luxury would be to have the steering also controlled (by a servo of some sort), and you could have a self parking bike.
Hey, if I could park my bikes by remote (or at the least, have a way of moving the bike for and aft, without trying to jiggle it and my back around obstacles (... must clear out the garage ... one too many bikes ... (she says, I rebut) ... yes, there is such a thing as too many bikes (it is a beautiful thing))).
If I could do that, I could fit a couple more in!
But seriously, it may also be possible to use something like that to provide a reverse gear for the ST - or any big bike. :think1
Sometimes I'd like to have a reverse gear myself. Not a matter of need as I always allow for the fact that I don't have one, but sometimes it would be nice.
Anyone else interested in something like that?

Could use a small motor that engages with the teeth of an abs ring, or maybe onto a tyre. I just think about getting back out of places before I park, and if not ok will go somewhere else and walk back.

I wouldn't think of interfering with the ABS ring- too important to be compromised in any way.
Some sort of drive onto a tyre might be the go. A sort of reverse to those old dynamos that ran off a bike tyre to power a headlight back in the 60s before they invented LEDs.
