PARKING ASSIST FOR A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH FOR WIRELESS VEHICLE CHARGING
First Claim
1. A vehicle parking assist system for positioning a capture resonator attached to a vehicle over a source resonator residing on a parking surface under the vehicle, said system comprising:
- a target positioned relative to the source resonator at a location viewable by an operator of the vehicle while the vehicle is being parked; and
a plurality of light sources configured to be attached to the vehicle and oriented so that when the vehicle is properly positioned, light beams from the light sources impinge on the target at one or more predetermined locations.
