Autonomous cars are impressive displays of in-car technology, but what exactly would the benefit of such systems be for the average driver?
Audi has answered that question by showing off its Piloted Parking system for the
Audi Connect at
CES 2013.
Installed on this
Audi A7, Piloted Parking allows a driver to drop themselves off and have the car autonomously drive away on its own and find its own parking spot. The car can then later be retrieved by "calling" it back with a specially designed smartphone app. We'd be lying if we said this didn't bring back memories of Michael Knight summoning KITT with his wristwatch. The most impressive part of this car might be the fact that the car is fully autonomous but doesn't have any obvious sensors or monitors on the exterior of the car like many other self-driving cars have.
Check out a video of the this innovative technology in action
