Wired News reports on BMW working on technology that will allow cars to park themselves in cramped quarters, such as your garage. Unfortunately, you have to setup the area you want it to park by placing a reflective lens against the wall at the front end of the parking space, so it won't turn the steering wheel or parallel park for you. Essentially, the YouTube video shows the car automatically pulling in its side mirrors and then pulling itself straight into the garage. Kinda lame if you ask me, considering there is automobile technology going back to at least 2003 demonstrating cars with computers that can automatically parallel park in public.
