Future Tech: BMW Remote Controlled Parking In Action on F10
Featured on HOMEPAGE.
We recently posted a summary (here) of the upcoming BMW technologies. One of the first driver assistance systems which we will see in the near future is BMW's Remote Controlled Parking technology. All the driver will need to do is park the BMW in front of the garage and the vehicle will then maneuver itself into the garage – and out again – all by pressing a button on the keyfob. The remote controlled parking technology has already been fitted onto certain test cars. Seen here is a F10 5-series demonstrating this future feature. The barriers represent the garage walls into which the F10 has driven itself into safely, without a driver in the vehicle. See here for a great summary of future BMW technologies and systems: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=440637

Its cool to see new technology, but I don't ever see a need for this.

Great technology, but doesn't really make sense. So I'm in front of my garage, press the garage remote, get out of the car, press the parking remote, car parks itself as opposed to drive in front of my garage, press the garage remote, move forward, brake, get out of car.
The former approach just seems to be more of a hassle than of benefit. |

Might not be useful in North America where we all have nice sized garages, but maybe in Europe if you have to park in lets say an ally beside your house and there is no room to open the door once parked, it would be great.

this feature may be more relevant in europe where parking is tighter and space at a premium. i know a few friends of mine here in the US with "2-car" garages that are barely big enough for both their 1er and 3er... older demographics likely find it annoying to have to ever-so-carefully open their door such that it doesn't ding their other car and crawl up and out of the seat. that takes alot of energy and care. i bet even those who don't realize the benefit will quickly be spoiled by such a feature. if your garage is big already, perhaps you'd be able to park your cars closer together or to the wall, and leave more space for trash cans, refrigerator doors, bicycles etc. i'm sure the technology is cheap enough at this point that the real question isn't "why," but why not?

What happens if there is a computer glitch?
Ooppss, I just crashed my car or worse, it ran over someone.
