Vehicle with External Parking Control

A vehicle with external parking control is presented, wherein a user input device located external to the vehicle is configured to cause the vehicle to park in response to user input received via the user input device. Having an external user input device for parking control helps ensure safety when a person approaches the vehicle for investigation (e.g., when a driver is found unresponsive inside the vehicle or when an autonomous driving system or a highly-automated driving (HAD) system automatically pulls the vehicle over to the side of the road in response to some fault).
