Abstract
A method for automated parking of a vehicle includes providing image data captured by at least one vision sensor of the vehicle to an electronic control unit (ECU), and providing a parking scene map to the ECU. A free parking space present in the parking scene map is selected as a target parking space, and a parking path from a current vehicle location to the target parking space is formulated. The vehicle is autonomously maneuvered along the parking path towards the target parking space. Responsive to detection of a pedestrian in the target parking space or along the parking path, the vehicle is stopped until the detected pedestrian moves out of the target parking space or out of the parking path. After the detected pedestrian has moved out of the target parking space or out of the parking path, the vehicle continues autonomous maneuvering along the parking path towards the target parking space.
