Abstract
A method for autonomous parking of a vehicle includes requesting initiation of an autonomous parking routine; determining the location of a vehicle user of the vehicle comprising the steps of: (a) transmitting a signal by one of an electronic device in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle user and a vehicle transceiver; (b) receiving the signal by the other of the electronic device in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle user and the vehicle transceiver; (c) measuring the strength of the received signal; (d) determining a distance between the electronic device and transceiver based on the strength of the received signal; (e) correlating the distance between the electronic device and transceiver as the distance that the vehicle user is from the vehicle; and initiating the autonomous parking routine only if the vehicle user is determined to be within the vehicle or beyond a predetermined distance from the vehicle.
