Claim Text:
1. A parking assist system, comprising: a plurality of ultrasonic wave sensors configured to measure a distance between a host vehicle and an external object; and a motor driven power steering (MDPS) controller configured to operate steering of the host vehicle; and a controller configured to: detect a parallel parking space based on distances measured from the plurality of sensors; and perform an exit from the parallel parking space while operating steering angle via cooperative control with the MDPS controller, wherein the controller is further configured to determine a distance between the host vehicle and a forward vehicle, and a distance between the host vehicle and a rearward vehicle, using the plurality of sensors, wherein the controller is configured to request a forward shift-speed when the host vehicle is within a predetermined proximity with the rearward vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to determine that the host vehicle is within the predetermined proximity with the rearward vehicle when the distance between the host vehicle and the rearward vehicle is less than a first threshold distance, and wherein in a case that the host vehicle is a manual transmission vehicle, the system further comprises a neutral switch, and the controller is configured to receive shift-speed information from the neutral switch and determine that the forward shift-speed is set when the shift-speed is not determined as neutral and a reverse shift-speed based on received shift-speed information.
