GoParking feature for a group of cars with auto pilot

[wacpan]

Hi,


I came up with idea to save space on parking lot.

A group of cars with autopilot could coordinate their actions to be closer on a parking stripe.

In the chain of cars must be just 1 bigger space allowing a car to leave the lot, but not enough to park a yet another car.

If a car in the chain want to leave the stripe doesn't have that space then cars between the space and that car slightly shift to free space for the departing car. Once the car left then staying cars move to reallocate new free space to prevent parking cars without the group compact parking feature. Later the chain could redistribute the space for new smart cars looking for parking space.

Actually, cant they all just slip in within .5" of each other and fit a extra car every 2-3 spaces? autopark would need "tesla group park" option and ignore the lines and use the cars as reference... As it may be hard to have custom painted lines for "Tesla self park only" This is actually an awesome idea in high density areas. Maybe 1 loading dedicated spot for people to get in car and load up trunk/frunk.

This remind me a sliding puzzle:

But honestly, just installing a parking slider would allow saving a lot of space,
who otherwise would be needed to manoeuver a car for entering and exiting a spot.

In Japan to save space, something understandable, a lot of buildings use a turntable allowing to exit facing the street.

Also in Japan, when parking illegally, you don't get one but two tickets....
