As stated previously, the car will not recognize lines on the pavement for parking spots. If you drive down the line of an empty parking lot the car will NOT identify a parking space. It will only identify a parking space if there is a car/wall on either side of the parking space.

Stupid design in my opinion. However, that being said, I believe there thinking is that if there are no other cars or walls around why do you need the autonomous capabilities of the vehicle to help you park? There's nothing to hit/squeeze between in an empty parking lot.
