Back in 1993, parking sensors were offered on some cars. Currently, such sensors are widely available. The task of the system is to warn the driver that he has driven too close to an obstacle. Sensors are usually located on the front and rear bumpers. They emit an ultrasonic wave, which is reflected from the obstacle and is captured by the sensor. 
The difference in time between the emission of a wave and its return is converted into a distance. The driver is informed by visual or audible signals that the car is approaching an obstacle.
Thus, the system currently in use does not facilitate parking. 
along the curb. Bosch is working on a device that will change that. Thanks to two additional ultrasonic sensors placed on the side of the vehicle, the length of the parking space can be measured. When the vehicle has passed it, the system will compare the measured length with the stored vehicle length and inform the driver with signals 
information about whether the car will fit in the selected location. The system will be ready for production in mid-2006.
Even better is a system that tells the driver how to turn the steering wheel to park quickly and easily. The device will measure the depth (to the curb) of the selected parking space and show the driver on the display the manoeuvres. 
This system should be ready in 2007.
Bosch specialists are also working on the automatic turning of the car's road wheels when parking without driver intervention, which can still be seen in science fiction films. In the Bosch device, the electric power steering system turns the wheels of the car according to the computer readings, and the driver's role is to press the appropriate pedals and engage the correct gear (forward or reverse). It is not yet reported when it will be possible to buy this smart device, the demand for which will undoubtedly be the greatest.
