What is self-parking technology?

Self-parking technology, also known as park assist, uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and advanced algorithms to help a vehicle park itself. The system detects available parking spaces and takes over the steering, accelerating, and braking to park the car in parallel or perpendicular spots.

Driver accessibility

Ultrasonic sensors around the car measure the distance to obstacles, while cameras provide a visual to ensure safe parking. The driver typically needs to control the gearshift and braking, but in more advanced systems, the car can do it all. This technology is designed to make parking easier, especially in tight or crowded spaces, and it is a growing feature in many modern vehicles, offering convenience and safety for drivers. The growing popularity of self-parking technology is obvious in the viral TikTok video of the GWM P500, where the driver experiences the system's ease of firsthand.

The self-parking feature shared by @m5commercial clearly left a strong impression on the driver, who reacts with awe. The excitement shows the growing interest in such advanced car technologies, as more people experience the convenience and safety these features offer.
