Parallel parking for mathematicians

[destrekor]

That is fucking cool. Unfortunately my piece of shit S-10 wont do the turns needed to parallel park in a tight place. I need assloads of room or a regular parking spot. OR..... if I jump up on the curb an inch or two and then roll down when I straighten it out. But thats far from ideal. I miss my Mazda.


I also miss my Geo.


(Dear GOD, did I just say that?)

Well you have an S-10.

I can parallel park my '97 Dakota just fine. As long as the car in the spot before wasn't a Geo and barely fit the spot. In that case, I go around the block again.

That's crazy².

I wonder if that could be programmed into a smart car, so you just have to press a "park" button and it figures out everything for you and does a perfect park every time. Could use sensors to either detect lines for a normal park, or detect cars, the curb for a parallel park.

fuzzy logic is used. Too much variances to use brute force algorithms.

that is awesome.

So your basically saying all the Asian stereotypes are true. They can't drive, they are good at math..... do you have a small... ahh no I'm not going there I'm 1/2 Asian myself

Pics sent.

I learned how to parallel park in an extended wheel base W126 Mercedes. I pwn at parallel parking.

BMW and Lexus have prototypes I think.

VW has it in europe. Top of the line Lexus has it in America, I think Prius can do it too, just gotta get the right upgrades.
