Self parking

Question 1

summary

Answer 1

The driver navigates through parked cars using on-board sensors and cameras to find suitable parking spaces. The on-board computer alerts the driver if a space is available, and the driver selects auto-parking. Actuators control steering, brakes, and throttle, allowing the car to complete the parking maneuver without driver intervention. Sensors in the bumpers transmit signals, providing a 3D image of the car’s surroundings.
