What do you mean? Automatic parking comes before self driving. Google's cars already do all of that https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/reports/

They don't use GPS for driving, perhaps general orientation, they use cameras and LASER based RADARs (called LIDARs)

My Model X drives itself on the freeway extremely well well. I don't have to do a thing from San Francisco to Sacramento, for example.

But the self parking barely works, and can't handle anything complicated.
