Self-Driving Cars That Go Find Parking by Themselves

#Future

Above, a video by AutomotiveTv that looks at Volvo's prototype self-driving vehicle. Allow me to be the first to say this: self-driving vehicles, despite not being on the road yet, are now old news. But they're coming, and they're coming soon.

What did impress me, is the second video from The Guardian about the technology. They still discuss the car's ability to self-drive, but barely touch on its best feature: finding parking by itself. You can have the car drop you off and off it goes to look for parking. It then comes and picks you up when you're done.
