Abstract
A method for autonomously parking or un-parking a motor vehicle includes receiving a map of a parking area having a first temporary obstruction zone, determining a starting location of the motor vehicle relative to the parking area, selecting a destination location within the parking area, setting the first temporary obstruction zone as operative or inoperative, generating a path from the starting location to the destination location, wherein the path does not enter the first temporary obstruction zone when operative, and driving the motor vehicle autonomously along the path from the starting location of the motor vehicle to the destination location.
