It's not Quite the Batmobile...

Filed in archive General Cool Stuff by Eric Hanson on July 18, 2006

...but BMW is certainly making a run at pushing cars in the direction of the automated goodness that is batman links

's car of choice. They've introduced a remote parking gadget, made to help people pull their large 700 series cars into their tiny garages without scratching up the paint. The system works through a small video camera mounted to the car's front windshield; the camera, aimed at a reflective screen mounted on the back of the garage, takes in distance and angle data and feeds it to a computer, which uses the brake, accelerator and steering wheel to move the car in (and out) of the garage. BMW hopes to have the system in their cars in the next three years.
