The guys from Valeo – a company dedicated to developing and producing components and modules for use in the automotive industry, has revealed that parking a car is now another thing that can be done with an iPhone.

The Park4U system, can be found on vehicles from several makers, namely Volkswagen, Lincoln, Ford and Audi. The system uses sensors to steer the car automatically into parallel and perpendicular parking spots. All that the driver is required to do is to control the accelerator and break pedals.

So how does the iPhone come into play? Valeo has come up with an iPhone app that lets the user control a Park4U-equipped car remotely. The car would steer itself into the parking spot while the driver controls the accelerator and the break remotely with their smartphone. You can use this feature to park in a tight spot where there is not enough space for the doors to open fully, or to simply show off in front of your friends.
