I always thought auto park needs another car on both ends of the parking spot to recognize the spot, so I was surprised when "P" showed up recently at a parking spot in which you could easily fit two cars. I expected this to be too big to be recognized as a parking spot. But the "P" was there so I thought it probably recognized it as one big parking spot rather than two and it will probably park in the center, because it always centers the car in the spot. But to my surprise, it left enough space behind me for another car.
Unfortunately I couldn't stand back far enough to make the whole situation fit in one picture, so I had to take two, but I think you can clearly see that my car (the black Model S) is much closer to the dark green car in front of it than to the white Model S on the other side:
So either autopark does not need a car on each side of the parking spot, or it is now smart enough to not park in the center if the spot is big enough for two cars. Either way, I'm impressed.
