Sure there are some self parking systems on the market already, notably Lexus and Ford, anyway this caught mt eye on the BBC today:
If parking a car is not your strong point, technology could soon be coming to your assistance. A number of manufacturers are looking to develop a car that can park itself.
BBC Click’s Marc Cieslak puts one to the test – a car that at the swipe of a smartphone screen will do all the work for you.

I would rather assist them drive properly first. Motorcycle proximity warning buzzers would be high on my list. I would be prepared to fit a sender.
Or a boxing glove to the face if touching a cell phone
