if you leave your car in a tight parking space or your garage is really cluttered Ford may have a solution for you this is a completely self parking car it's actually a step towards the autonomous cars of the future now with this car you can get out before it goes into the parking space hold down a switch on a key fob and the car will put itself in the parking space you have to keep your finger down on the button it works is kind of a Deadman switch so that if anything goes wrong you leave that off the car immediately stops also with its ultrasonic sensors if it encounters an obstacle it will also stop like if a child runs in back of it the car uses 12 ultrasonic sensors that's very similar to the technology that's currently in Ford's automated parallel parking system along with controlling the steering it also controls the braking and acceleration and this is actually a gasoline engine car so it actually can start the car up by itself the system uses an RF ultra wideband frequency to connect key fob to the car and the key fob merely sends a signal in the car to tell it where to park you don't actually control the car with the key fob now this is merely a concept but this feature could come out in the next few years I'm Wayne Cunningham foreseen it
