What does automatic parking into a parking space mean?

"Automatic parking into a space" refers to the automatic parking system's ability to independently perform steering movements during parking. The driver only needs to control the throttle, brake, and gear shifting, and the system can take over the steering wheel at any time to stop its operation. Below is an introduction to the automatic parking system: 1. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) performs real-time environmental modeling based on sensor information, generates the vehicle's movement path, and controls the vehicle to automatically move into the parking space without collision. 2. Automatic parking into a space is an auxiliary system, with several radar probes on the side of the vehicle that are not commonly seen in other models. These two radar probes use ultrasonic sensors to scan both sides of the road, automatically finding a suitable parking space by comparing the parking space with the vehicle's length. 3. Once a suitable position is found, the driver only needs to shift into reverse gear and control the speed with the brake, and the vehicle will automatically adjust the steering to park itself into the space. When it detects that the distance between obstacles in front and behind the vehicle exceeds 1.5m, it can easily perform automatic parking without any body adjustment; the minimum front and rear spacing for its operation is 40cm, which is also basically the minimum spacing for general manual parking.
Last time when chatting with friends about automatic parking, honestly this feature saves me a lot of effort. Simply put, the car detects an empty parking space by itself, then automatically steers and reverses into it without me manually turning the steering wheel. For example, in a crowded mall, just press a button to activate the system, and the car uses radar to scan the width of the parking space, then slowly moves and parks precisely. As someone who drives frequently, I find this super practical for both beginners and experienced drivers, avoiding the hassle of reversing scratches. Some cars even support vertical, angled, and roadside parking types. Before operating, shift into reverse to confirm. But don’t rely on it completely, remember to check for surrounding obstacles to ensure safety. Overall, it improves parking efficiency, especially when used after a tiring day at work—super relaxing.
