The system includes: a quantum material magnetometer configured to measure a magnetic field in an area and to output an area signal based on the magnetic field in the area; and an augmented positioning system configured output a parking instruction signal based on the area signal.
Claims20
A system for use with a vehicle, said system comprising:
- a quantum material magnetometer configured to measure a magnetic field in an area and to output an area signal based on the magnetic field in the area;
- and
- an augmented positioning system configured to output a parking instruction signal based on the area signal.
A method comprising:
- measuring, via a quantum material magnetometer, a magnetic field in an area;
- outputting, via the quantum magnetometer, an area signal based on the magnetic field in the area;
- and
- outputting, via an augmented positioning system, a parking instruction signal based on the area signal.
A non-transitory, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions being capable of being read by a system, wherein the computer-readable instructions are capable of instructing the system to perform a method comprising:
- measuring, via a quantum material magnetometer, a magnetic field in an area;
- outputting, via the quantum material magnetometer, an area signal based on the magnetic field in the area;
- and
- outputting, via an augmented positioning system, a parking instruction signal based on the area signal.
