(Video) Self-Parking LEGO Car

So you've seen the self-parking Lexus and BMW, now check out the LEGO Mindstorms NXT version. There's still a few bugs in the program that need to be worked out, but it gets the job done. Video after the jump. A word from its creator:
It has got an ultrasonic sensor that detects the length of free spaces. Then, when it detects enough space, it makes the necessary movments to park. And when you say "GO!" it returns to the road

Hey, it wrecked the tapes (or whatever the boxes were). Nice stuff, but I like the RCX better because is has better compatibility with the old LEGO pieces.

Sorry, not impressed. What is that finger doing touching it right before it parks? And it hit the tapes on the way out. I am SURE that my neighbor would appreciate that...

Where I come from, it's not parallel parking unless you "nudge" one or both of the cars. Good job!
