Abstract
A vehicular parking assist system includes a location sensor disposed at a vehicle that at least in part determines a current geographical location of the vehicle. An ECU is disposed in the vehicle and stores a database of parking space locations where the vehicle has previously been parked. The vehicular parking assist system receives wireless communications from a remote server pertaining to parking spaces at or near the current geographical location of the vehicle. Responsive at least in part to (i) an output of the location sensor, (ii) the stored database of parking space locations where the vehicle has previously been parked and (iii) the received wireless communications from the remote server, the vehicular parking assist system determines a likelihood of finding an empty parking space at or near the current geographical location of the vehicle.
