Claim:
A vehicle parking assist system characterized by comprising: a camera that captures an image of an area near a vehicle; a first vehicle guiding section that recognizes a position of an electric power transmitting unit external to the vehicle based on the image obtained via the camera to guide the vehicle to the electric power transmitting unit; an electric power receiving section that receives electric power from the electric power transmitting unit in a non-contact manner; a second vehicle guiding section that guides the vehicle based on the electric power received by the electric power receiving section; and a control section that causes the vehicle to move by controlling a vehicle driving section that drives the vehicle, based on outputs from the first and second vehicle guiding sections, wherein the control section executes a process of stopping the vehicle when the electric power received by the electric power receiving section from the electric power transmitting unit does not satisfy a first condition that the electric power is equal to or higher than a first threshold value, even after the control section has caused the vehicle driving section to move the vehicle beyond a predetermined distance after the first vehicle guiding section becomes unable to detect the position of the electric power transmitting unit based on the image.
