Why Can't the Mercedes-Benz Automatic Parking System Recognize Parking Spaces?

[SanAmy]

Mercedes-Benz's automatic parking system also has certain requirements for the size and shape of parking spaces. Parking space too small: If the parking space is too small or too large without reference objects, the vehicle will not be able to recognize the parking space. Distance between the car and the parking space: The system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect parking spaces. If the vehicle is too far away from the parking space, it may fail to detect the space. For example, during perpendicular parking, the sensing distance is relatively far; however, during parallel parking, due to the vehicle's orientation, the sensing distance is closer. Different Mercedes-Benz models have varying system-set sensing distances, and exceeding these distances will prevent the system from recognizing the parking space. Vehicle speed when identifying parking spaces: The automatic parking system also has different speed requirements for identifying parking spaces. Within the system-set speed limit, the system can locate available parking spaces. If the speed exceeds this limit, the system will not be able to recognize the space.
