Abstract:
1. A vehicle parking system using two converging lasers emitting from a vehicle positioning device from an interior or enclosed exterior location of a vehicle for use in longitudinal and lateral parking position control of vehicle comprising: (a) two laser emitting diodes producing visible outputs on a forward or rearward surface, utilizing a vertical line such that the two visible laser outputs are equidistantly aligned horizontally around the vertical line on the forward or rearward surface continuously during parking for achieving lateral distance control to a pre determined location; (b) two converging laser emitting diodes that align vertically during parking on a surface forward or rearward pre-determined vertical line for achieving longitudinal distance control to that pre-determined location; (c) at least one angle adjustment control for one of the laser emitting diodes for calibration of the intersection point of the two visible laser beam outputs; and (d) wherein the vehicle positioning device is of a temperature compensating design to preserve the lateral and longitudinal calibration point in both hot and cold conditions.
