    • 2020 August 4, Duncan Brady, “Self-Parking Cars Explained: How Does Automatic Park Assist Work?”, in MotorTrend[1]:
      Most cars with self-parking capability can't actually do it all themselves. These systems can locate a parallel (and in some cases a perpendicular or diagonal) parking spot upon activation by utilizing proximity sensors on the front, side, and rear of the vehicle; often, the tech requires activating a turn signal to indicate what side of the road it should look for a space.
