Bosch parking assistant: Vehicle automatically maneuvers into parking spaces

The Bosch parking assistant takes the stress out of parking. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to precisely measure parking spaces and then moves the car into a space, without drivers having to steer the vehicle themselves. Automatic parking is as fast as with an experienced driver. The system is available for the first time in the latest Mercedes-Benz A and B class. In the face of increasing traffic density, less and less available parking space, and rising demands for convenience, the Bosch parking assistant makes day-to-day driving much easier. 

For tight spaces too

The parking assistant requires a vehicle configuration with electric power steering, a parking aid, and an additional ultrasonic sensor on each side of the front fender. These two ultrasonic sensors are needed to measure a potential parking space as the car drives by at up to 35 kilometers an hour.
