Theoretically, once you figure out how much available space there is, you can figure out the exact time to turn your steering wheels to fit into the space flawlessly.
By applying this to basic parking guidelines, you can work out exactly when to turn the steering wheel to slide in perfectly.
According to Professor Blackburn: "Parking the car is something that most of us do on a daily basis – and we all get a little frustrated with it sometimes. This was the perfect opportunity to show how we can apply mathematics to understanding something that we all share.”
Fortunately for us, we’re pretty well-versed in the art of parallel parking so this formula, while intriguing in its own right, is something we can live without. But for those who have nightmares about the thought of parallel parking, you might want to give this a shot, even if it means trying to figure out all the equations involved.
