It is not a surprise in today’s time that more and more production cars are installed with a self-parking feature. Although this might be one of the fanciest tech available, it can also add a hefty price value to the overall price point.
The self-parking assist feature has drastically evolved since its debut at the Detroit International Show in 2006 with the Lexus LS 460 sedan. Now, you can even control your car using an exclusive remote control from your car’s manufacturer.
If you are up for the added price value, then read on as we listed cars available in the Philippines that can assist or even completely take control of your parking woes.
