Park Assist (Automatic Parking)
Park assist finds suitable parking spaces and steers the car into them, sometimes also controlling acceleration and braking.
What is Park Assist (Automatic Parking)?
It uses ultrasonic sensors and sometimes cameras to measure the gap. Simpler systems only steer, while the driver controls the pedals. Advanced versions can park via a smartphone app.
How it works
The system measures the space and calculates a path, then turns the steering via electric power steering.
Why it matters for your car
The driver must supervise and stop the manoeuvre if needed. Faulty sensors disable the system.
