No matter when or where you need to do it, parking can easily be the most frustrating part of a day out. Valet parking might sound great but, well, we鈥檝e seen Ferris Bueller鈥檚 Day Off enough times that handing over the keys to a stranger raises the anxiety level, too. Autonomous-driving technology could very well be the solution. Such automation is exactly what Mercedes-Benz has demonstrated in the multi-story parking building at the automaker鈥檚 museum in Stuttgart, Germany. To enable it, the driver would leave the vehicle on a valet-parking pad and turn over autonomous control of the vehicle to the automated valet by pressing a Park button on a smartphone app. The car is assigned a parking spot automatically and follows commands from the parking garage鈥檚 system to find it. When the owner is ready to return for the car, he or she can summon the vehicle back to an area adjacent to the valet-parking pad for a hassle-free exit. The automaker and the tech supplier plan to do an 鈥渆xtensive trial鈥?of the system after this week鈥檚 demonstration, followed by a commissioning phase.

A center console overrun with buttons doesn鈥檛 leave room for extra storage, and there are just two cupholders and a small, square-shaped, shallow storage bin under the center armrest. The BMW X4 and X6 at least provide a nifty sliding cover over their cupholders to store loose items, and the GLE-Class coupe has a separate cubby area for phones and other items. Luggage space behind the Macan鈥檚 40/20/40-split folding backseat is a small 17.7 cubic feet that鈥檚 deep but narrow, and the aggressively sloped roofline doesn鈥檛 provide much room for taller objects.
Cargo space is more similar to a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class (17.2 cubic feet) or BMW X4 (17.7 cubic feet) than to the roomier X6 (26.6 cubic feet) or GLE-Class coupe (23 cubic feet).
