It's a manouvere that's the bane of every learner driver's life.

Now robotics technology could finally save humans from the ordeal of parallel parking.

A Chinese firm has unveiled a machine that's designed to squeeze cars into spots so tight that not even a professional could get in without a scratch.

The Geta smart parking robot takes just two minutes to park a motor, according to Yeefung Technology, the firm which created it.

Marco Wu, CEO, said: ""It sees using laser navigation, scanning a reflected signal to pinpoint its location.

"The signal is then transmitted to a computer containing a map which then tells the robot where to go."

The robot speeds underneath cars, before picking them up and dropping them into position.

Which is great news, unless the poor driver is still inside.

Robotic parking uses 40% less space than parking manually, meaning motorists would be unable to open their door to get out,.

"The robot can go everywhere without tracks, which is free and versatile and will reform parking in the future." Wu added.
