Researchers have developed NeuralParker, a novel reinforcement learning planner designed for complex parking scenarios. Unlike existing systems that focus on marked slots and short maneuvers, NeuralParker can handle arbitrary-pose parking in irregular environments, such as those encountered by delivery vehicles. The system encodes full-environment geometry into a target-relative vertex representation, enabling long-range route reasoning. Experiments and real-vehicle evaluations demonstrate that NeuralParker outperforms baseline methods in planning success and trajectory quality, operating with low computational cost. AI
