System and method for parking an automobile

This describes a method for a vehicle to automatically park itself. It involves the car's system receiving a command to start parking, then detecting and showing the positions of nearby objects on a display screen. The system then calculates the necessary movements for parking, continuously updating the display with object positions as the car maneuvers.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced vehicle sensors and powerful onboard computing were common. Today, these technologies are standard, making the real-time object detection, display, and complex path planning described in the claims much more feasible and reliable.
