Embodiment Construction

[0032] While the invention may be embodied in various forms, some exemplary and non-limiting embodiments are shown in the drawings and described below, it being understood that the disclosure is considered illustrative of the invention and is not intended to be The invention is limited to the specific embodiments shown.

[0033] Remote Parking Assist (RePA) systems are designed to autonomously park and unpark a vehicle when the operator is outside the vehicle. For example, when parking a vehicle, the RePA system can be used when the parking space is too narrow for the operator to open the door or for the passenger to open the door. RePA systems use range detection sensors (eg, ultrasonic sensors, radar, LiDAR, cameras, etc.) to sense the environment around a parking space, and plan and execute paths into and out of the parking space. In some examples, the RePA system is activated by an operator and scans for available parking spaces. When a parking lot is detected, the RePA ...

Abstract

Method and apparatus are disclosed for mobile device tethering for a remote parking assist system of a vehicle. An example vehicle includes first and second wireless modules and a processor. The processor estimates a region of probability representative of possible locations of a mobile device based on a first signal strength indicator. When the region of probability overlaps a virtual boundary, the processor polls a key fob, estimates a distance of the key fob from the vehicle based on a second signal strength indicator, and when the key fob is within the virtual boundary, enable autonomous parking.
