Although the dream of roads full of driverless cars is a ways off,
several companies such as Tesla and Google are taking steps toward that
goal by developing self-driving car technology. Ford is now also demonstrating self-parking technology called Fully Assisted Parking Aid
that will actually help a driver locate a spot and then make the car
automatically park itself--without the driver inside. Indeed, you'll be
able to hop out of the car and use a smartphone app to tell your car to
park itself. This is ideal for both parking in tight spaces (i.e., you
don't have to squeeze your way out of your vehicle while trying not to
bang the next car's door) and for those who are just terrible at parking
to begin with.
