Autonomous Sliding Parking

This video explains and demonstrates methods we have developed for executing a sliding parallel parking maneuver on a full size autonomous car. The system was developed in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University.

A short video of just the sliding park itself is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_piO849uRdI .

The paper describing the method in more detail, and additional videos, are available at: http://ai.stanford.edu/~kolter . The paper itself can be downloaded directly at: http://ai.stanford.edu/~kolter/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=pubs:kolter-icra10.pdf .

@supaflyjohnson Winner nerds, I'd say.

WTF!

Or you could just hire Ross Swift to teach it.

@ekanipata And that is why autonomous cars need to learn dealing with unexpected variables. And why they don't do these test's on the street...

[ekanipata]

what if, two autonomous cars try to win the same parking spot, and they acknowledge each other when they were beginning to accelerating their engine at 200mph already?

or, what if, some dude get off of his cars and walk right into the way during the high-speed maneuver of the autonomous car?

in case of ordinary drivers, we expect them to slow down when they were parking, right?

@kenvsryu555 It self-detonates and then self reassembles around the pedestrian so they are now a passenger.

@medinauta Surely this is not meant for practical use, autonomous cars of the future will be making much more conservative maneuvers, this is meant for research purposes only...to gain an understanding of what the system is capable of and to some extent, to show off their handywork, not necessarily so that robot cars can perform such a move on a routine basis.

@railfan844 What is the purpose of this comment? If no offense is intended than is it meant to merely inform him? I'm sure he knows how his voice sounds and doesn't need or appreciate your opinion of it.

@DerEddi They are their in case something goes wrong, a safety precaution. He isn't steering, his hand is near but not touching the wheel.

@DontKnowMyName No matter how much confidence one has in their driving abilities, people make mistakes. When perfected, autonomous cars will save millions of lives every year. That's what this research is for.
