Gadget could see parking improved

-

An extra 17 per cent of parking spaces on UK streets could be freed up if drivers stopped parking badly, it has been estimated. Park assist technology, where a vehicle steers itself into a space, could improve parking capacity on roads by 17 per cent and free up thousands of spaces, analysis by insurer Direct Line found.

Experts reviewed roads where kerbside parking bays had no space to fit in an additional car and calculated how much extra space would be available if every car had used the technology.
