Abstract
A vehicle system for assisting a user in a parking lot includes a detection module configured to receive data relating to the parking lot and a control module. The control module is configured to detect whether an available parking space is present in the parking lot based on the received data from the detection module, determine an amount of space required by the user to exit a vehicle, determine whether the available parking space provides sufficient space for the user based on the determined amount of required space, and in response to determining that the available parking space provides sufficient space for the user, optimize a parking bias of the vehicle relative to at least one boundary of the available parking space based on the amount of space required by the user. Other example vehicle systems and methods for assisting users in parking lots are also disclosed.
