The solution that will take the stress out of parking is just around the corner

Finding, then accessing, a parking spot can be the bane of a motorist’s life, but new technology aims to conquer the fear.

When cringe-making video footage of a motorist’s desperate attempts to park her car outside her house emerged earlier this year, it went viral.

Secretly filmed by a neighbour, the driver was so anxious to bag the tight spot outside her front door in the busy London street where she lived, that she performed more than 35 individual manoeuvres and spent EIGHT minutes getting her vehicle into the prize space.
