[0054] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0055] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0056] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: detect the vehicle's surrounding environment to obtain an environmental perception result; plan a parking path according to the environmental perception result to obtain an initial parking path; park according to the initial parking path to confirm whether the vehicle's current position is the target parking position; when the vehicle's current position is the target parking position, confirm whether the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition; when it is confirmed that the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition, update the automatic parking mode and the initial parking path, and complete the automatic parking according to the updated automatic parking mode and the updated initial parking path.

[0057] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description is made by taking the identification of the automatic parking device as the execution subject.

[0058] Since the vehicle speed fluctuates and feels jerkier due to the state machine jump when the vehicle switches to the automatic valet parking cruise stage after the prior art automatic parking assisted parking is completed, the present application provides a solution. Due to the real-time detection of the vehicle's surrounding environment, the environmental perception results are obtained and analyzed, and the path planning can be dynamically adjusted in each parking stage to ensure that the vehicle can accurately track the target path at each step, and when the vehicle reaches the target storage position, it can accurately determine whether the state machine jump condition is met. If the conditions are met, the system will update the automatic parking mode and path to optimize the parking process. Compared with the prior art, the problem of path planning and state conversion lag in the prior art is avoided through dynamic path adjustment and state machine switching. Traditional technology may cause the parking process to be not smooth enough or errors in path planning due to the failure of the state machine to switch in time when the vehicle approaches the target position. This solution ensures a seamless transition from the initial parking path to the target position through real-time response and update, effectively improving the stability, accuracy and automation of the parking process, thereby improving the user experience and the intelligence level of automatic parking.

[0059] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, an automatic parking device, etc. The following takes the automatic parking device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0060] Based on this, the present application embodiment provides an automatic parking method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart diagram of the first embodiment of the automatic parking method of the present application.

[0061] In this embodiment, the automatic parking method includes steps S10 to S50:

[0062] Step S10, detecting the vehicle's surrounding environment and obtaining an environmental perception result;

[0063] It should be noted that the environmental perception results are the surrounding environment data obtained by sensors such as radar, camera, lidar, etc. These data include information about obstacles, pedestrians, lane lines, parking spaces, other vehicles, etc. around the vehicle. The environmental perception results provide real-time space and object information for path planning and parking decisions.

[0064] It is understandable that vehicles use multiple sensors, such as radar, lidar, cameras, etc. to monitor the surrounding environment in real time. The data collected by the sensors include information about obstacles around the vehicle, other vehicles, pedestrians, lane lines, etc. These perception results provide important input data for subsequent path planning, ensuring that the vehicle can adapt to various changes in the environment, avoid collisions, and ensure the safety and smoothness of parking operations.

[0065] Step S20, planning a parking path according to the environmental perception result to obtain an initial parking path;

[0066] It should be noted that the initial parking path is the path that the vehicle takes from its current position to the target parking space. This path needs to avoid obstacles and take into account the vehicle's kinematic constraints, such as turning radius and speed limit. The path planning algorithm generates a suitable driving route based on this information.

[0067] In addition, the vehicle's surroundings refer to all objects and features in the space around the vehicle that may affect parking. This includes information such as parking space boundaries, lane line obstacles, traffic signs, etc. such as other vehicles, pedestrians, walls, pillars, etc. The accuracy of environmental perception directly affects the reliability of parking path planning and the safety of the vehicle.

[0068] It is understandable that according to the environmental perception result obtained in step S10, the parking path will be planned. This path planning needs to take into account the current position of the vehicle, the position of the target parking space, surrounding obstacles, and the kinematic limitations of the vehicle, such as turning radius, acceleration, etc. Through the algorithm, an initial parking path that is most suitable for the vehicle will be generated.

[0069] In a feasible implementation, step S20 may include steps S21 to S23:

[0070] Step S21, obtaining vehicle current environment information, vehicle control parameters, vehicle position and target parking space information according to the environment perception result;

[0071] It should be noted that the vehicle's current environment information refers to the real-time data obtained by the vehicle at its current location and surrounding environment. This information includes surrounding obstacles, parking space layout, distances to surrounding vehicles, locations of pedestrians, etc. The vehicle's current environment information directly affects the planning of the parking path and the smoothness of parking.

[0072] In addition, vehicle control parameters refer to various key physical parameters that affect vehicle movement, including steering angle, acceleration, maximum speed, braking distance, turning radius, etc.

[0073] In addition, vehicle pose refers to the position and orientation of the vehicle relative to a reference coordinate system, such as a parking lot or road. Usually including the coordinates of the vehicle and its orientation angle, vehicle pose is crucial for path planning because the position and orientation of the vehicle determine how it approaches the parking space and how it turns.

[0074] In addition, the target parking space information refers to the specific location and size of the target parking space for the vehicle. This includes data such as the boundaries of the parking space, the angle of the parking space, and the current position of the parking space relative to the vehicle. This information provides necessary reference for planning the parking path.

[0075] It can be understood that the vehicle's current environment information is comprehensively calculated and confirmed based on the data obtained from environmental perception. Assuming that the vehicle is preparing to enter an empty parking space, the sensor detects surrounding obstacles, lane lines, distances to other vehicles, etc., and generates the vehicle's current environment information. This information helps the system identify the layout of the parking lot, the distribution of obstacles, and provides basic data for subsequent path planning. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm the vehicle control parameters and vehicle posture, identify the target parking space information, and determine the target parking space that the vehicle will enter.

[0076] Step S22, generating a smooth parking path based on the vehicle's current environment information, the vehicle control parameters, the vehicle posture, the target parking space information, and a hybrid heuristic search strategy;

[0077] It should be noted that the hybrid heuristic search strategy is a hybrid A* algorithm, which is a path planning algorithm that takes into account vehicle kinematic constraints, such as turning radius, acceleration, speed, etc., and is suitable for parking path planning in complex environments. The optimal path is planned by discretizing the vehicle state space, defining the cost function, path search, path smoothing and optimization, and other steps.

[0078] In addition, a smooth parking path refers to a path from the current vehicle position to the target parking space planned by a hybrid heuristic search strategy, which has fewer turns and sudden acceleration or deceleration, and can ensure that the vehicle parks at a smooth speed and direction.

[0079] It can be understood that, using the hybrid A* algorithm, a smooth parking path can be generated based on the vehicle's current environment information, control parameters, posture, and target parking space information obtained in step S21. The target parking space is identified, and vehicle control parameters such as maximum steering angle and acceleration are set. The path planning algorithm will ensure that the vehicle can smoothly enter the parking space without any abrupt changes.

[0080] Step S23, obtaining an initial parking path according to the vehicle control parameters, the current environment information of the vehicle and the smooth parking path.

[0081] It is understandable that the aforementioned vehicle control parameters and current environment information are used to adjust the parking path and finally obtain an initial parking path, which will serve as a reference path for the vehicle to perform a parking operation.

[0082] In a feasible implementation, step S23 may include steps S231 to S232:

[0083] Step S231, obtaining vehicle geometric constraints according to the vehicle control parameters and the vehicle current environment information;

[0084] It should be noted that vehicle geometric constraints refer to the physical limitations imposed on the vehicle during driving, including vehicle size, turning radius, minimum speed, vehicle steering capability, etc. These geometric constraints will affect the vehicle's path planning, ensuring that the planned path is adapted to the vehicle's actual dynamic capabilities.

[0085] It is understandable that in the planning of the parking path, in addition to considering the shortest path, it is also necessary to ensure that the path meets the vehicle's vehicle geometric constraints, namely the kinematic constraints. Kinematic constraints mainly include turning radius. The steering angle and minimum turning radius of the vehicle determine the curvature of the path. When planning the path, the turning radius of the vehicle should be greater than or equal to the minimum turning radius; maximum acceleration and speed. When parking, the acceleration and speed of the vehicle should be limited to avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking. These restrictions should be considered during path planning to maintain smooth driving; obstacle avoidance. The distance to surrounding obstacles needs to be considered during path planning to ensure that the vehicle maintains a safe distance from surrounding obstacles, such as walls and other vehicles.

[0086] Step S232: performing path smoothing processing according to the smoothed parking path and the vehicle geometric constraint to obtain an initial parking path.

[0087] It is understood that path smoothing refers to the optimization of the generated path to eliminate jerky turns or unnatural changes in the path. The purpose of path smoothing is to ensure that the vehicle can smoothly execute the path without causing unnecessary vibration or unsafe operation of the vehicle due to path unevenness. This process usually relies on mathematical methods such as curve fitting, spline interpolation, etc.

[0088] In addition, it can be understood that the path smoothing process is performed according to the smooth parking path and the geometric constraints of the vehicle to obtain the initial parking path. Assuming that the geometric constraints of the vehicle are calculated in step S231, for example, the minimum turning radius of the vehicle is 5 meters, the smooth parking path will be adjusted based on this constraint to ensure that each curve in the path meets the turning capability of the vehicle.

[0089] For example, during the planning process, the path may pass through multiple bends, and the turning radius of these bends is too small, exceeding the turning limit of the vehicle. Path smoothing will be performed to adjust the curve of the path and increase the turning radius to ensure that the path adapts to the geometric constraints of the vehicle.

[0090] Step S30, parking according to the initial parking path, and confirming whether the current position of the vehicle is the target parking position;

[0091] It should be noted that the target parking position is a specific position that the vehicle must reach during the parking process. In this embodiment, it is the last parking position of the vehicle, that is, the position that the vehicle must reach when completing the last reversing or adjustment. Usually, this position marks the final stage of the vehicle entering or exiting the parking space.

[0092] It is understood that the vehicle starts to drive along the initial parking path and confirms whether its current position has reached the target parking position. The vehicle detects through the sensor that the current position is close to the boundary of the parking space, and then the target parking position will be confirmed. The goal of the vehicle is to park at the final adjustment position of the parking space, that is, the vehicle position reaches the precise requirement and completes the parking.

[0093] In a feasible implementation, step S30 may include steps S31 to S33:

[0094] Step S31, obtaining the target kneading warehouse position according to the hybrid heuristic search algorithm;

[0095] It is understandable that the hybrid heuristic search algorithm can obtain the target parking position based on environmental information, vehicle control parameters and path planning requirements. Assuming that the vehicle's goal is to enter a standard parking space, the system evaluates the optimal path through the hybrid heuristic search algorithm and calculates the target parking position, which is usually the most accurate position where the vehicle needs to park after entering the parking space. After the vehicle reaches the target parking position through the planned path, the final adjustment is completed.

[0096] Step S32, based on the target parking position, parking is performed according to the initial parking path and the automatic parking assistance mode, and the current position of the vehicle during the parking process is obtained;

[0097] It should be noted that Automated Parking Assistance (APA) is a control mode used by the vehicle during the automatic parking process. It usually involves the vehicle performing automatic parking operations based on external sensor data without driver intervention. APA modes may include forward or reverse parking, adjusting the control strategy based on the vehicle's current position and the target parking space.

[0098] Step S33, confirming whether the current position of the vehicle is the target storage position according to the current position of the vehicle.

[0099] It should be noted that the current position of the vehicle refers to the real-time monitoring of the vehicle's position through sensors and positioning systems to ensure that the vehicle travels according to the route and is accurately positioned when it reaches the target storage location.

[0100] It is understandable that the vehicle starts to perform parking operations based on the target parking position and the initial parking path. Assuming that the vehicle drives to the target parking space according to the initial parking path through the path planning system, the vehicle is automatically controlled according to the APA mode, and the system will update the current position of the vehicle in real time according to the actual parking progress.

[0101] Exemplarily, when the vehicle reaches the last parking space, the vehicle maintains the APA state machine unchanged, that is, continues to execute the APA parking process.

[0102] Step S40, when the current position of the vehicle is the target storage position, confirm whether the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition;

[0103] It should be noted that the state machine jump condition refers to the standard for the state machine to switch from one operating mode to another operating mode when the vehicle meets certain preset conditions during the parking process.

[0104] It is understandable that when the vehicle reaches the target parking position, it checks whether the vehicle meets the state machine jump conditions. The vehicle has completed the final adjustment and will check whether it meets the conditions for entering the automatic valet parking cruise mode, such as the parking space is ready, there are no obstacles, and the vehicle position is accurate. If the conditions are met, the state machine will be prepared to jump.

[0105] In a feasible implementation, step S40 may include steps S41 to S43:

[0106] Step S41, when the current position of the vehicle is the target storage position, obtaining vehicle shift information and vehicle current environment information;

[0107] It should be noted that the gear shift information refers to the current gear switching state of the vehicle, and the gears usually include reverse gear (R gear), forward gear (D gear), parking gear (P gear), etc. During parking, the vehicle needs to switch from reverse gear to parking gear, or from other gears to a gear suitable for parking, to ensure that the vehicle can perform parking operations correctly.

[0108] It is understandable that the vehicle has approached the target parking position and will obtain the current gear shift information and environmental information. Assuming that the vehicle has reversed to a parking space, the system will obtain the current gear shift information and simultaneously perceive the surrounding environment, such as whether the parking space in front is empty and there are no obstacles, whether there are vehicles on the side, etc. This information helps the system determine whether the vehicle can perform the next operation: that is, switching from reverse gear to parking gear.

[0109] Step S42, when the vehicle shift information is a shift from a reverse gear to a parking gear, generating a state machine switching signal;

[0110] It should be noted that the reverse gear refers to the gear in which the vehicle is in reverse driving state (R gear). During parking, the vehicle is usually first shifted into the reverse gear to reverse until the vehicle approaches the target parking space. The parking gear refers to the gear in which the vehicle is stopped and ready to stop (P gear). When the vehicle completes the parking operation and parks in the parking space, it is usually necessary to switch the vehicle to the parking gear to ensure that the vehicle is completely stationary.

[0111] In addition, the state machine switching signal refers to a signal that triggers the state change of the automatic parking system. When the vehicle switches from the reverse gear to the parking gear, the system will send a state machine switching signal, indicating that the automatic parking mode needs to be switched from one operating mode to another operating mode to perform a new operation.

[0112] It is understandable that when the system detects that the vehicle switches from reverse gear to parking gear, a state machine switching signal is generated, which indicates that the state machine of the vehicle needs to switch from automatic parking assist mode to automatic valet parking mode, preparing to enter the next stage of parking operation.

[0113] Step S43, confirming whether the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition according to the state machine switching signal and the current environment information of the vehicle.

[0114] It is understandable that the state machine switching signal and the vehicle's current environmental information can be used to confirm whether the jump condition is met. For example, assuming that the vehicle has switched from reverse gear to parking gear, and the sensor confirms that the parking space is empty and the vehicle has been accurately parked in the parking space, it will be determined whether the state machine jump condition is met based on this information. If the vehicle's current position matches the target parking position and there are no obstacles around, the state machine switching signal will be confirmed and the system will trigger a mode switch. Otherwise, the vehicle may need to continue to adjust or wait for confirmation to ensure that parking is complete.

[0115] Step S50, when it is confirmed that the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition, the automatic parking mode and the initial parking path are updated, and the automatic parking is completed according to the updated automatic parking mode and the updated initial parking path.

[0116] It should be noted that the automatic parking mode refers to the control strategy and method used by the vehicle during the automatic parking process. Different modes may be adapted to different parking scenarios, such as the automatic parking assistance mode or the Automated Valet Parking (AVP) mode. In addition, updating the initial parking path refers to replanning or adjusting the parking path according to new environmental information or changes in vehicle status during the parking process. This ensures that the vehicle can accurately follow the new path in a dynamic environment.

[0117] It is understandable that when the vehicle confirms that it meets the state machine jump conditions, it will update the automatic parking mode and re-plan the path. The vehicle switches from APA mode to AVP mode, and the parking path needs to be updated to adapt to the new control mode. Path updates include recalculating the vehicle's motion trajectory and steering angle, and ensuring that the vehicle completes parking according to the new path. The vehicle continues to perform parking operations under the new control mode until it is completely parked in the parking space. Through the jump of the state machine and the update of the path, the vehicle can smoothly transition to the new operating mode and successfully complete the parking task. For example, after the vehicle completes APA parking and meets the conditions for entering the AVP mode, the system will automatically update the path and mode to allow the vehicle to continue parking until parking is completed.

[0118] In a feasible implementation, step S50 may include steps S51 to S54:

[0119] Step S51, when it is confirmed that the vehicle meets the state machine jump condition, updating the automatic parking assistance mode to the automatic valet parking cruise mode to obtain an initial automatic valet parking cruise mode;

[0120] It should be noted that the automatic parking assist mode is an operating mode used by the vehicle during the parking process. The system usually provides assistance under the control of the driver to help the vehicle complete the parking task. In this mode, the vehicle performs actions such as reversing and turning, but the driver still intervenes in some operations. In addition, the automatic valet parking cruise mode means that the vehicle performs parking operations under complete autonomous control without driver intervention. In this mode, the vehicle makes autonomous decisions based on sensor data and completes the parking task. This mode is usually used in more advanced autonomous driving systems, which can automatically complete the parking process without driver control. The initial automatic valet parking cruise mode indicates that the switching operation has just been performed and the automatic valet parking cruise mode of the remaining driving path has not yet been entered.

[0121] It can be understood that the vehicle has accurately reached the target parking position and there are no obstacles around. When the conditions are met, the system will update the automatic parking assistance mode to the automatic valet parking cruise mode. This means that the vehicle will change from relying on the driver's auxiliary operation to fully autonomous parking control.

[0122] Step S52, obtaining a target parking path according to the current position of the vehicle and the initial parking path;

[0123] It should be noted that the target parking path refers to the planned route from the current position of the vehicle to the target parking space, that is, the remaining parking path planning. This path usually takes into account the kinematic limitations of the vehicle and changes in the environment to ensure that the vehicle can park smoothly.

[0124] It can be understood that the target parking path is generated according to the current position of the vehicle and the initial parking path. Assume that the vehicle has transitioned from the APA mode to the AVP mode and has approached a parking space.

[0125] Step S53, obtaining a target automatic valet parking cruise mode according to the target parking path and the initial automatic valet parking cruise mode;

[0126] It should be noted that the target automatic valet parking cruise mode refers to the final automatic valet parking control mode that is adjusted and optimized according to the current position of the vehicle, the target parking path and the current parking environment. The generation of this mode takes into account the dynamic changes of the actual parking environment and ensures that the vehicle can successfully complete the parking task through path adjustment.

[0127] It can be understood that a target automatic valet parking cruise mode is generated based on the target parking path and the initial automatic valet parking cruise mode. This target mode adjusts the control strategy based on the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, changes in the target path, and real-time feedback from the surrounding environment. For example, the vehicle may encounter an obstacle during driving, and the system needs to adjust the target mode to ensure that the vehicle can bypass the obstacle and smoothly enter the parking space.

[0128] Step S54: Control the vehicle to travel based on the target automatic valet parking cruise mode to complete automatic parking.

[0129] It is understandable that the vehicle's driving is controlled according to the target automatic valet parking cruise mode to ensure that the vehicle performs the parking task and completes parking according to the planned path. For example, in the final stage when the vehicle is about to complete parking, the vehicle's steering angle, acceleration, etc. will continue to be fine-tuned according to the target mode to ensure that the vehicle can park smoothly in the parking space. Assuming that the vehicle is approaching the parking space, the steering and speed of the vehicle will be automatically adjusted according to the target automatic valet parking cruise mode to ensure that the vehicle is parked smoothly in the parking space. If a new obstacle is encountered, the control strategy will be adjusted in time to ensure that the vehicle completes parking safely.

[0130] This embodiment provides an automatic parking method, which solves the technical problems of path planning, environmental adaptability and mode switching in the automatic parking process through technical means such as environmental perception of on-board sensors, path planning of a hybrid heuristic search algorithm, and switching of automatic parking modes, and achieves the goal of accurately and safely completing automatic parking tasks in complex environments, improving parking accuracy, fluency and user experience, ensuring that the vehicle can complete parking operations autonomously and smoothly, and avoiding collision risks.

[0131] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 , step S10 of the automatic parking method further includes steps S11 to S12:

[0132] Step S11, obtaining parking space boundary information, vehicle information around the vehicle, obstacle information around the vehicle, pedestrian detection information, and lane line information according to the vehicle-mounted sensor;

[0133] It should be noted that vehicle-mounted sensors are various sensing devices installed on vehicles, such as radar, LIDAR, camera, ultrasonic sensor, etc. Vehicle-mounted sensors are used to sense the environment around the vehicle and transmit the sensed data to the system for processing, supporting functions such as automatic parking, collision warning, and automatic driving.

[0134] In addition, parking space boundary information refers to the boundary position data of the parking space, which is usually obtained by sensors or visual systems. The parking space boundary information helps the system identify the spatial size, shape and positioning of the parking space relative to the vehicle, thereby determining whether the vehicle can enter the parking space smoothly.

[0135] In addition, the vehicle surrounding information refers to the position, speed and relative direction of other vehicles adjacent to or around the vehicle obtained by the vehicle-mounted sensors or environmental perception system. This information is crucial for obstacle avoidance, path planning and parking operations, helping the system determine the safe distance between vehicles.

[0136] In addition, the obstacle information around the vehicle refers to the detection information of any obstacles around the vehicle that may hinder driving or parking, including fixed obstacles such as walls, pillars, trees, or other dynamic obstacles. The sensor provides this information to the system to help determine whether there is a potential collision risk.

[0137] In addition, pedestrian detection information is information about the location, movement status, etc. of surrounding pedestrians obtained through sensors or visual systems.

[0138] In addition, lane line information refers to the lane marking information obtained by the vehicle through sensors or visual systems. This includes lane boundaries, lane directions, whether the lane is widening or narrowing, etc. Lane line information is very important for vehicle path planning, lane keeping and automatic parking operations.

[0139] It is understandable that the vehicle obtains environmental information around the vehicle through on-board sensors, covering parking space boundaries, surrounding vehicles, obstacles, pedestrians, lane lines and other aspects. Assuming that the vehicle is performing an automatic parking operation in a parking lot, the sensors collect this information in real time. For example, the on-board sensor detects the boundary of the parking space in front and determines the size and shape of the parking space. At the same time, it also detects other nearby vehicles, possible obstacles such as pillars or walls, and approaching pedestrians. Lane line information helps the vehicle confirm its driving route and direction during parking.

[0140] Step S12, obtaining an environmental perception result according to the parking space boundary information, the vehicle information around the vehicle, the obstacle information around the vehicle, the pedestrian detection information and the lane line information.

[0141] It is understandable that the various data collected in step S11, such as parking space boundary information, surrounding vehicle information, obstacle information, pedestrian information, and lane line information, are comprehensively processed to generate environmental perception results. Such information helps the system understand the environmental status of the vehicle, evaluate the safety of the surrounding space, and provide a basis for subsequent automatic parking path planning.

[0142] For example, suppose a vehicle is in a parking lot, there are other vehicles parked around it, the boundary of the parking space is identified by the sensor, obstacles are detected, and pedestrians are in front of the vehicle. This information will be comprehensively analyzed to generate environmental perception results, clarifying the relative position of the vehicle and the target parking space and the potential risks around it. Through these comprehensive data, it is possible to accurately determine whether the vehicle can enter the target parking space, whether there is a risk of collision, and whether the parking path needs to be adjusted. The environmental perception results not only help with path planning, but also dynamically adjust the parking strategy to avoid collisions and ensure the safety of the parking process.

[0143] This embodiment provides an automatic parking method, which solves the problems of environmental perception accuracy and real-time performance during automatic parking through data collection and comprehensive processing technology of vehicle-mounted sensors, and achieves accurate perception of obstacles, pedestrians, lane lines and other information around the vehicle in a complex environment, ensuring the reliability and safety of parking path planning, effectively avoiding collision risks, and optimizing the smoothness and safety of the parking process.

[0144] For example, to help understand the implementation process of the automatic parking method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A brief flow chart of an automatic parking method is provided, specifically:

[0145] The vehicle's surrounding environment is sensed through on-board sensors to obtain environmental data such as obstacles, other vehicles, lane lines, etc. around the vehicle. Next, based on these perception results, the system plans the outbound route to ensure that the vehicle can smoothly leave the parking space. If this is not the last parking operation, the system will continue the parking operation. If it is the last parking, the system will check whether the state machine jump conditions are met. If the conditions are met, the parking state machine will be triggered to jump and enter the automatic valet parking cruise mode. At this time, the vehicle will park autonomously according to the planned path until the vehicle is completely parked in the parking space.

[0146] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the automatic parking method of the present application.
