Abstract
In some implementations, the device may include receiving, via one or more image sensors, one or more images of a parking area. In addition, the device may include determining, based on the one or more images, a first available parking spot. The device may include determining a second available parking spot adjacent to the first available parking spot, where the second available parking spot is a pull-through parking spot accessible by maneuvering through the first available parking spot. Moreover, the device may include displaying to a user, via a vehicle interface, the one or more images of the parking area, an indication of a location of the pull-through parking spot. Also, the device may include receiving, via the vehicle interface, a selection to park the vehicle in the pull-through parking spot. Further, the device may include parking the vehicle in the pull-through parking, where the parking is performed autonomously.
