Parallel Parking Is Stressful. Most Drivers Still Won't Let the Robots Take Over
Briefly

Chinese consumers show a strong interest in automatic parking features, surpassing American and German preferences, highlighting differences in automotive technology gaps between countries.
"When you pull up on the high street and you're parallel parking, and there's a queue of cars behind you beeping their horns, the self-parking systems usually feel a bit slow... Nothing yet that I've tried has been consistently better than a person, by quite some way," says a car dealer, explaining dissatisfaction with Western automakers' self-parking technology.
Older Western manufacturers seem to lag behind newer companies like Tesla and BYD in self-parking technology due to their traditional approaches, whereas newer firms emphasize software and sensor advancements.
Jeremy Carlson from S&P Global Mobility pointed out that newer manufacturers design automated parking as part of a broader self-driving capability, investing more in software and sensors for better functionality.
