Volvo V40 that parks itself

It is now the turn of the Swedish manufacturer Volvo to launch a conquest of the car that parks itself.

Unlike other experimental cars of the same type, the Volvo V40 is here guinea pig, whose application is under the governance of a smart phone.

Thus, the driver has to do is press a preset command in his phone, which will feature the system Autonomous Parking.

With the help of sensors placed at strategic points around the car, it will spot a place available and defeat them.

Conversely, it will automatically leave his parking space and join alone its owner.

At Volvo, we consider the marketing of such a system in a relatively close future. As proof, the next version of the XC90 SUV, planned for 2014, would be the first model of the brand offer this technology.
