Park Assist & Self Parking Vehicles

Featuring the Nissan ARIYA All-Electric Crossover

January 23, 2022

Driver assistance technologies are rapidly evolving. At Nissan, ProPILOT Assist sets the standard with its ability to help ease your highway driving using multiple technologies that vary speed and actively assist to help keep the vehicle centered in your lane. [[1176]]

While we are still years away from full autonomy, Nissan vehicles are now available with park assist technology.

Generally, park assist features aid the driver while manually parking the vehicle, rather than automatically parking the vehicle without input from the driver. Alternatively, self-parking vehicles have the ability to park themselves with little to no assistance from the driver. [[1176]]

What is park assist and how does it work?

Park assist features are systems that can help park vehicles but still require manual input from the driver. They use technology like sensors and cameras to provide visuals or help to determine the distance from detected objects around the vehicle and can alert the driver to the distance from them.

For example Intelligent Around View® Monitor is a park assist technology that creates a simulated composite 360° image of the exterior of the vehicle. This allows the driver to get a better look around them before they parallel park. [[1117]]

How to parallel park with a park assist feature

To parallel park with park assist technology, approach your spot as you normally would. Park assist features give drivers a better idea of the space around them, including detected vehicles and objects. Audio warnings and visual cues on the vehicle's back up camera will help guide the driver into the parking spot. [[1117]]

What is self-parking technology and how does it work?

Self-parking technology give vehicles the ability to park with minimal or no input from the driver. This allows vehicles to park in tight or small parking areas more easily. The wheels are able to turn by themselves and execute complicated parking tasks, such as parallel parking, or parking in tight spaces.

By using sensors and cameras, self-parking technology is able to maneuver the vehicle into parking spots. All that is typically required by the driver is moving the transmission into reverse, and easing off or on the brake.

ProPILOT Park uses four high-resolution cameras capable of real-time image processing and 12 sonar sensors placed around the vehicle to assess the vehicle’s surroundings. After processing the collected information, the system can then park the vehicle by controlling the accelerator, brakes, steering and transmission. This is all part of the ProPILOT suite of technologies.[[3207]]
