Ford is experimenting with two new gee-whiz technologies, one that allows a car to park itself without a driver inside and another that automatically turns the steering wheel to avoid hitting a pedestrian.
The trials are going in Belgium and there are no plans to market either in the U.S. anytime soon, but both point to how automakers are gradually moving toward self-driving technology in cars.
With Ford's Fully Assisted Parking Aid, a driver can be standing outside their car to push a button and watch it park itself. The technology could pay off in Europe, where parking is at a premium.
