A second space located between the first parked vehicle and a second non-movable object located behind the first parked vehicle is determined. The second space is comprised of a second required space and a second non-required space. Responsive to determining that the first non-required space is greater than the second non-required space, the first parked vehicle is moved towards the first space.
