Advanced Parking Guidance System

Advance Parking Guidance System (APGS) is an automatic parking system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation for its latest Lexus models and also the hybrid Prius models. On vehicles equipped with the APGS, via an in-dash screen and button controls, the car will park itself with little input from the user.

The system has received mixed reviews, including a video produced by Automobile Magazine that demonstrates how the system makes parking more difficult. [1] By contrast, a video from CNBC showed the system working "quite effectively" with a first-time user and other reviewers found that the APGS worked smoothly.
