Abstract

A computer-implemented method comprises: continuously monitoring, by an assisted-driving (AD) system using a sensor, surroundings of a vehicle being controlled by a driver; detecting, by the AD system using the sensor, a parking spot that is available; planning, by the AD system and in response to detecting the parking spot, a trajectory for the vehicle to park in the parking spot; and generating a prompt to the driver, by the AD system and in response to detecting the parking spot, to have the AD system handle parking of the vehicle in the parking spot, the prompt performed before the vehicle reaches the parking spot.
