View Full Version : I heard that the new Lexus LS 460 can park itself without much control from... DefenceDespereaux 10-19-2007, 01:06 PM ...the driver. HOW DOES A CAR DO THAT Can you explain to me how that works? LEX 10-19-2007, 01:08 PM In order to do a parallel park, you would have to position the LS next to a parked car. Then, put the LS in reverse and turn on the Park Guidance System. Set it to parallel park (the LS also can do a 90 degree park) and let go of the wheel. The LS uses a series of sensors that measure the distance between you and the parked car, and how far away you are from the parking stall. The sensors then send that information to a computer that will calculate that information and will control the steering wheel. The only driver input required is the use of the brake pedal to control the speed and stop the car. In my personal opinion, this is a safer way to park because human error is greater than computer error.
