Society is becoming ever more automated, and every day, engineers develop new ways to make our lives easier and safer. Parallel parking is considered by many to be one of the most difficult skills associated with driving, and is the second most common reason for failing a driving exam.
Self-park cars fifteen year ago sounded unrealistic, but today there are companies that are developing this technology. Ford created an Active Car Assistant where the driver has control over the acceleration of the vehicle, while the wheel is controlled by the computer.
Audi has the Audi Connect, which without human directions can search for a parking space and park itself. It can also go back to the original position and pick up the driver.
Other companies that works towards this technology are BMW, with the BMW ConnectedDrive. This car searches for a suitable parking space and parks itself.
