What does the automatic parking of a vehicle mean?

The automatic parking of a vehicle refers to an automatic braking function that allows the driver to avoid unnecessary sliding of the vehicle without the need for prolonged braking when the electronic parking brake is engaged. The working principle of automatic parking: This function is developed from the ESP module. During this process, the ECU computer uses sensors installed on the vehicle to obtain the levelness of the car body and the torque of the wheels, thereby determining whether braking is needed to prevent the car from rolling. The braking force applied to the wheels is not very strong, just enough to prevent the vehicle from moving, so that when the accelerator is pressed again to move forward, there will not be too severe jerking.
I used to have to keep pressing the brake pedal at red lights when driving my old car, but after switching to a car with auto hold, the experience was completely upgraded. Now, when waiting at a red light, just press the brake pedal firmly, and when the green indicator appears on the dashboard, it means the system is activated. At this point, I can take my foot off the brake pedal, and the car stays firmly stopped on its own. To start moving again, just lightly tap the accelerator, and it automatically releases—super effortless. Once, while queuing on a slope in an underground mall parking lot, this feature was a lifesaver, eliminating worries about rolling back and rear-ending. Auto hold relies on the electronic system to control brake pressure, essentially having the computer hold the handbrake for you. It's not the same as a traditional mechanical handbrake but is much simpler to operate.
