Parking signaling system

1. A system operated within a vehicle to indicate an intention of a driver of the vehicle to execute a parallel parking maneuver, the system comprising:

an electronic control device operated by and receiving control inputs from the driver;

a sensor monitoring parking spaces proximate to the vehicle;

a computerized processor monitoring an orientation of the vehicle in relation to the parking spaces; and

a display comprising a light bar generating a signal based upon the monitored orientation and the control inputs to indicate to other drivers the intention to execute the parallel parking maneuver to either a left side of the vehicle or a right side of the vehicle, the light bar comprising a communications device configured to provide wireless communication with the electronic control device, the signal comprising:

an arrow pointing to the left side of the vehicle distinct from a turn signal indicating an intended left turn; and

an arrow pointing to the right side of the vehicle distinct from a turn signal indicating an intended right turn.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the signal further comprises a parking mode indication.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the parking mode indication comprises one of a display indicating the word parallel, a display indicating the word parking, and a display indicating the letter P.

4. The system of claim 1 , further including an audio message provided to warn pedestrians proximate to the vehicle.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising a sensor monitoring locations of the pedestrians; and

wherein providing the audio message is based upon the locations of the pedestrians.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display is further configured to display a light displaying a braking function for the vehicle.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the display comprises a matrix of individually operable lights.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display is further configured to display a textual message communicating the intention of the driver to execute the parallel parking maneuver.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a laser emitter configured to display a pattern upon an intended parking space.

10. A system operated within a vehicle to indicate an intention of a driver of the vehicle to execute a parallel parking maneuver, the system comprising:

a display generating a signal to indicate to other drivers the intention to execute the parallel parking maneuver to either a left side of the vehicle or a right side of the vehicle;

a sensor monitoring a steering angle of the vehicle; and

a computerized processor controlling the display generating the signal, wherein the signal is generated based upon the steering angle;

wherein the signal is distinct from a turn signal for the vehicle indicating an intended left turn or right turn.

11. A system operated within a vehicle to indicate an intention of a driver of the vehicle to execute a parallel parking maneuver, the system comprising:

a display generating a signal to indicate to other drivers the intention to execute the parallel parking maneuver to either a left side of the vehicle or a right side of the vehicle;

a sensor monitoring parking spaces proximate to the vehicle; and

a computerized processor monitoring an orientation of the vehicle in relation to the parking spaces and controlling the display generating the signal based upon the monitored orientation;

wherein the signal is distinct from a turn signal for the vehicle indicating an intended left turn or right turn.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

a sensor monitoring a parking space proximate to the vehicle; and

a computerized processor monitoring the sensor and indicating whether the parking space is large enough for the vehicle to park within.
