Autonomous vehicles are nothing new, but this modified 1927 Citroen B12 Torpedo might have been the first car with self-parking assist. Put simply, it was modified so the front wheels could turn 90 degrees, making parallel parking a breeze, or so the video demonstration shows.
No other information is known about this modification, but we can say that the Citroen B12 is a vehicle that was manufactured at André Citroën’s factory in central Paris between October 1925 and January 1927. A total of 38,381 vehicles were produced to compete with the Peugeot 177 and the Renault KZ. The B12 made use of all-steel bodies for its two most popular body types, powered by a 1,452 cc 4-cylinder engine making 10 hp. There were several body types offered for sale, with its most popular being the “Torpedo” (two-box saloon/sedan) style bodies. Other types available included a cabriolet, a “Torpedo commercial” and “Normande”.
