Charging Curve

Anyone using Autopark ?
I’ve tried it many times but it is just slow scary and dangerous. It allows you to select slots over cars and pavements and it WILL drive onto a pavement. When Bay Parking it doesn’t allow you to see the rear of the vehicle when setting parking place. On a real road sensors going off all the time because it always puts full lock on needlessly sending front too close to cars on opposite side. When it did park in a bay I couldn’t open the door.

Love the 360 degree camera that is excellent & press camera when going forward as well, so it’s easy to park manually.

But the Autopark experience for me has not been good. Anyone actually using it?

No I don't. I didn't trust it in the Qashqai I had before the Ariya and strongly suspect it is exactly the same software in the Ariya, as it was no better.

I have used autopark a few times just for the sake of it and testing the system, it's much better than previous iterations of the system from Nissan, it even detects angled and diagonal parking spots, you can manually adjust or set a spot to park if there are no defined lines and sandwich spot detecting between cars in series works good. It's not perfect but now is far from useless. I'll say it's capable of parking successfully 70% of times or so.

It refuses to do tight spots if there are columns inside the slot, sandwiching between cars with no lines on the road can be a bit off or misaligned sometimes and if there's bad exterior lighting it has difficulties auto detecting lines, but all this is somewhat expected.

Nissan will launch a new feature of this system for new cars that remembers the maneuvers to a favorite spot like your garage, to mimic the movements equally every time, don't know if there's any additional improvements to auto park itself in general but they've advanced a lot since the first iteration on the 2014 Qashqai.
