Ravishing Cars |

Volkswagen has developed a car that can park itself even when the driver is not on board. Park Vision assist neatly reverses the car into the kind of space found in a typical supermarket or underground car park. It is seen as the ideal answer to the problems people face when getting ever wider cars in and out of narrow parking bays. All the driver has to do to initiate the system is choose an available space on the sat-nav monitor, put the gearlever into the ‘P’ position, then get out.The car then parks itself using cameras in the door mirrors, which send video signals to the steering and drive systems. Once parked, the engine automatically switches off the car locks itself. The driver can interrupt the process at any time. The system was tested in public on a Passat estate at the recent Hanover Fair. Further trails with the system are in progress, but VW hopes to put it into production.
