The believe the system is designed to assist in parking between cars etc. as it’s assumed the driver doesn’t need assistance to park in open spaces.
It uses acoustics not just the cameras so cannot identify any open spaces.

Audi developed a full self parking system (allegedly) some time ago but I suspect the insurance industry said no. There is a stunning video of it here -


Having had remote parking on my previous Mercedes and Lexus I really miss it on the Macan. It’s strange that it is an option on the Taycan but not the Macan. That said, Lexus deleted the App required for it in Europe for some reason. Remote Parking is really useful if some clown parks too close so you can’t open the door wide enough.

remote parking is available. its an option that didn't make the early models...but it's in the configurator now.

I’ve looked in the UK and it’s still only Active Park Assist not Remote Parking. I may have missed it as I also checked the US configurator and couldn’t find it on there either - forgive me if I’m being dumb

ahh you know what. it's not there..but someone on here posted a pic of it in the configurator. Maybe that person had access to some back end site... a search in the forum should show you.

MY SA was aware of the option coming too...but he said it's one of those things that ppl get and never use, so he was suggesting i shouldn't be too broken up about it not making my order

Thanks for confirming. It’s puzzling the Taycan has it but the later developed car doesn’t. In the cars with it I previously owned you had to have the options for comfort locking and surround cameras - I have those so I wonder if it might just be software.
The Lexus didn’t only drive straight forward or reverse (as the Merc’s) but you could steer to not only get the car out but point it in the right direction.
My wife hasn’t been the same since I told her that the Audi Automatic parking in the video wasn’t available.
