US Patent 10031227 Parking assist system

A parking assist system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to detect an obstacle, detect a boundary of a parking space, determine a target position to which a vehicle moves, and, when the vehicle is allowed to be located in a third area in which a first area and a second area overlap with each other, be allowed to determine the target position in the third area. The first area is an area across a limit line from the obstacle. The limit line is set substantially along an outer periphery of the obstacle at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the obstacle outward of the obstacle. The second area is an area out of the boundary.
