Tiktoker Chey Pope shared a video that has already accumulated over 444,000 views. She was in a taxi in China with her partner when the driver “air-steered” the car to park itself.
“Our driver in China said, ‘look at this,’ and then he air-steered the car to park itself?” wrote the tiktoker, completely surprised by the technology.
The video shows the driver moving his hand over the vehicle’s multimedia system screen. When the hand aligns with the car image, it turns in the direction he wants the car to park automatically.
The tiktoker turned the camera to show that she was stunned by the novelty. “What kind of witchcraft is this?” Pope wrote in the video caption.
The self-parking feature has been implemented by some manufacturers in their vehicles, such as the Lexus TX 350.
A Hyundai dealer wrote about the brand’s e-Corner automatic parking system, detailing how this technology helps drivers place their vehicles in tight spaces.
According to U.S. News, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE and S-Class, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, Lucid Air, Genesis G90, and Ram 1500 also have this feature.
Like the tiktoker, other users were impressed with the aerial view displayed on the dashboard screen. Although Pope did not specify which model she was in, many believe it to be a BYD Yangwang U7.
