CONTROL OF A VEHICLE TO AUTOMATICALLY EXIT A PARKING SPACE.

摘要

An automatic park-out system is provided for a vehicle to assist in automatically exiting a parking space. The vehicle is equipped with various sensors configured to sense the location of external objects, such as vehicles surrounding the parking space and vehicle in the adjacent lane of traffic. At least one controller receives signals from these sensors and commands the vehicle to automatically move and align itself for exiting the parking space. The operator of the vehicle can depress the accelerator pedal to signal a desire to move out of the parking space. Even if the driver increasingly depresses the accelerator pedal, the at least one controller is programmed to limit an actual speed of the vehicle based on a distance between the vehicle and the external objects. This constraint placed on the actual speed be removed or reduced based on the distance increasing.
