Audi Self-Driving Car: Hands-on at CES 2013; Watch It Park By Itself (VIDEO)

The Car of Tomorrow...can be seen today.

Audi's latest pet project, its own self-driving car, has been making waves at this 2013 Consumer Electronics Show.

The car is said to have the capacity to drive itself to and from a parking space with just a simple touch of a button in a basic SmartPhone.

Google has its own version of a similar self-driving car, the Toyota Pruis, on the market, but the self-driving Audi model also has several key features.

Among the features it has is built-in Light Detection and Ranging, or LIDAR, technology developed by Velodyne, which creates a "map" of the car's surroundings using a rapidly rotating laser beam. Audi's LIDAR system is said to be much smaller than it intends to put on the car's grille.

Through the use of those laser scans, the new system ensures that the car won't go off course or hit anything else en route to the parking spot.

However, Audi is still not ready to put this technology up for sale on the market yet, as Tech Spot.com notes, with real life obstacles such as pedestrians and weather conditions still needed to be accounted for.

"Simply put, Audi still has a long way to go before something like this can be implemented in the real world where things like pedestrians and weather conditions must be accounted for" Tech Spot writer Shawn Knight writes. "Either way, it's pretty cool to think that we will eventually have self driving vehicles someday."

"In other words, much of the work is being outsourced to the parking garage itself. This trick isn't going to work just anywhere - you've got to be in a venue that's been specially fitted with equipment that the car can talk to as it maneuvers," The Verge writes of the laser technology found in Audi's new vehicle.
