On November 2nd， a humorous incident involving the AITO M9’s driverless parking feature amused many netizens. A blogger shared a video showcasing the vehicle’s autonomous parking capabilities， leading to a series of amusing reactions.
In the video， the AITO M9 was performing a driverless parking maneuver. As it was nighttime and the parking space was narrow， a diligent security guard enthusiastically stepped forward to guide the car into position.
The AITO M9’s autonomous parking was remarkably swift and precise， with the steering adjustments being spot-on. Unaware that the car was operating without a driver， the guard continued to gesture and direct its movement. The advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) demonstrated a high level of automation， executing the parking maneuver with greater efficiency and accuracy than might have been expected from human intervention in such challenging conditions.
Ultimately， the vehicle successfully parked itself and automatically locked its doors. It was only then that the guard， who had been intently observing from the side， realized there was no one inside the car. His subsequent expression of bewilderment and slight deflation as he walked away added to the comedic effect of the situation. This particular instance highlights the uncanny ability of modern autonomous systems to operate seamlessly， sometimes to the surprise of onlookers accustomed to traditional driving scenarios.
The incident sparked widespread discussion online， with many netizens offering witty remarks. Some commented， “The guard: It was the best parking job I ever directed， even with no one inside.” Others joked， “Guard: This car has spirits!” and “Tell the guard to run the other way if he sees a car with a small blue light from now on.”
Further humorous takes included expressions like the guard’s supposed thought， “Wait， the driver should have gotten out by now to offer me a cigarette，” and “Guard: I should have worn my glasses， they were just sitting on my forehead.” One netizen even humorously suggested， “Guard: Delete this.”
