Abstract: A parking assist method performs a parking assist control of a host vehicle based on a target travel path when a distance between a self-position and a target parking position is determined to be equal to or less than a first predetermined distance, a parking assist permission condition is satisfied, and a shift operation for switching direction has been detected. The parking assist permission condition is satisfied where either a condition in which a predetermined time or longer has elapsed since the host vehicle departed from the target parking position, or a condition in which the distance between the self-position and the target parking position since the host vehicle departed from the target parking position exceeds a second predetermined distance that is equal to or less than the first predetermined distance. The parking assist control is suppressed when the parking assist permission condition is not satisfied.

Abstract: A vehicular trailer assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU), which includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The ECU executes a deep neural network (DNN) to determine presence of a trailer in image data captured by the camera. The DNN, responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, determines a position of a trailer in the captured image data. The DNN, responsive to determining the position of the trailer, classifies the trailer into a trailer category. The ECU, responsive to the DNN determining the position of the trailer and based on the classification, generates an output to autonomously control the vehicle to align the vehicle with the trailer and navigate the vehicle toward the trailer.
