Abstract
A vehicular parking assistance system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and capturing image data. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The parking assistance system, responsive to an input, determines a direction of travel for an automated parking maneuver. The parking assistance system, responsive to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines a boundary of a free space in the direction of travel for the automated parking maneuver. The free space at least partially bounds an area where the vehicle can maneuver without colliding with a detected object. The parking assistance system, while driving the vehicle in the direction of travel, laterally adjusts a path of the vehicle based on the determined boundary of free space to avoid the detected object.
