Automatic Parking Assistance

Last updated:

Automatic parking assistance does exactly what it sounds like it should – assists you in parking your car automatically. Most systems allow you simply to approach a car park space then press a button to have the car manoeuvre in the space by itself. Most systems work with parallel parking, angle parking, and side-by-side parking. The car uses a range of sensors to ensure it doesn’t collide with other cars or objects.

Advantages:

  • Your car will park itself, just sit back and relax

Disadvantages:

  • Automatic parking only really works in normal ‘car-sized’ spaces, as it generally relies on positioning itself based on surrounding objects. So attempting to use it in an empty car park or in a situation where other motorists have parked poorly may not give the best results.
