Automatic parking has the vehicle independently locate a parking spot and maneuver into it without aid
Israel's Transport Ministry is expected to approve the use of automatic, driverless parking for vehicles that have this function, Israeli media reported on Monday.
This is the latest step towards allowing autonomous cars on Israel's roads, according to financial daily Globes.
The automatic parking has the vehicle independently locate a parking spot and maneuver into it without aid, using sensors to avoid other vehicles and pedestrians. The system also allows the driver to call the vehicle from the parking spot to the driver's location, which it finds through GPS on the driver's cellphone.
Currently, the function is limited and is primarily intended for use in parking lots and private land rather than in public spaces.
