BMW is developing a remote-control valet parking system for cars that can be operated by a smartwatch.<\/p>\n

The sensor-filled BMW i3 car, which will be on display at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas in January, integrates with smartwatch and can essentially self-park.<\/p>\n

According to the company, a driver could activate the “Remote Valet Parking Assistant” via an app, which then guides the vehicle to a parking spot all by itself.<\/p>\n

The car works with the help of laser sensors that scan the surrounding environment so it can move without running into anything.<\/p>\n

It will work in tandem with a digital site plan, so the car has a map of the environment, too.<\/p>\n

The prototype BMW i3 is understandably imperfect. Previous iterations of self-parking cars \u2014 like the one Audi showed off at CES 2013 \u2014 worked with lasers positioned in the physical location.<\/p>\n

The BMW model requires a map of the environment, but it seems that it still occasionally crashes during self-park jobs. (In BMW’s news release, the company said there’s only a “possibility of entirely collision-free driving.”)<\/p>\n

BMW has been working on self-driving cars for some time now. The company tested out a “highly automated” in 2009 and again in 2011. The car manufacturer even publicly tested out a self-driving car at last year’s CES.<\/p>\n

Other companies, like Tesla and Google, have cars with autopilot-like features, too.<\/p>\n

We may still be a way’s off from sleeping during solo road trips, but big-name companies are working hard to make it a reality.<\/p>\n
