2017 Mercedes E-Class remote parking pilot system demonstrated [video]

Remote parking with the smartphone app. Parking can be a nightmare when the vehicle alongside has parked so tight that it is impossible to open the door of your own car. A common occurrence in car parks where space is at a premium. Also some garages are so narrow that getting in and out of the car can be a real chore and cause scratching of the paintwork. Mercedes-Benz has the solution to these unfortunate situations: a remote-control system for moving into and out of parking spaces, available for the first time. It's called the Remote Parking Pilot, and is controlled from outside the vehicle by smartphone via Bluetooth.
