Still, slowly and steadily the autonomous car will arrive, with the help of an increasing number of automated driving aids.  虽然汽车制造商拖拖拉拉，但是在越来越多的自动驾驶助手的帮助下，自动汽车将一步步缓缓到来。  Volvo recently demonstrated one such feature: a car that really does park itself.  最近沃尔沃就展示了其中的一项功能：真正具备自动停车功能的汽车。  Some cars already have systems that assist with parking, but these are not completely autonomous.  有的汽车也装有停车助手，但它们并不是全自动汽车。  They can identify an empty parallel-parking space and steer into it while the driver uses the brake.  这样的汽车仅能识别空车位并在驾驶员刹车时停入。  The Volvo system, however, lets the driver get out and use a smartphone application to instruct the vehicle to park.  但是沃尔沃的系统可以让驾驶员置身车外，通过手机应用来指挥停车。  The car then trundles off, manoeuvres into a parking place and sends a message to the driver to inform him where it is.  随后车轮转动，汽车驶入停车位并发送短信告知驾驶员停车地点。  The driver can collect the car in person or use his phone to call it back to where he dropped it off.  驾驶员可以自行取车，也可以用手机将车调回自己下车的地点。  Autonomous parking could thus be provided at places like shopping centres and airports, which are controlled areas in which automated vehicles can be managed more easily than on open highways.  因此自动停车适用于购物中心和机场等地，相对于开阔的高速公路，这类地点有人管理，自动停车更易操作。  In the past, designs for doing this have relied on car parks being fitted with buried guide wires that a vehicle can follow to an empty bay.  以前自动停车往往依赖于停车场内埋于地下的导线，从而引导汽车驶入空车位。  Tha
