How the heck would the car know where there is more readily available parking? It seems like parking is a whole other area of work that needs to be done. It would need to:
- Know local parking lots
- Know that if a sign says "full" it can't go in
- If it's not full, somehow grab the ticket out of the machine
- Know the difference between parallel parking and other types
- Know if a meter is expired
- Pay for a meter if it is, or not if it isn't
- Tell how much time is left on a meter
- Be able to read parking restriction signs (street sweeping, restricted time ranges)
- Etc. etc.
Edit: tried hard to get the above to output as a bullet list, couldn't get it to work.
