Methods, computer systems, and servers are provided for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location with or without a human operator controlling primary navigation of the vehicle. One example method includes identifying a vehicle location and determining if the vehicle location is near a self-park location. The method accesses mapping data for the self-park location and receiving a request to initiate a self-park process for the vehicle. The method includes forwarding instructions to the vehicle to proceed with the self-park process. The self-park process acting to control the vehicle to automatically move from a current location to a destination location in the self-park location, and the current location and the destination location are updated dynamically as the current location of the vehicle changes and based on conditions of the destination location. Vehicles can be dropped off, registered for self-parking via a smartphone, and the vehicle moves to an available parking location.

1. A method for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location without a human operator, the method comprising: receiving a vehicle location using global positioning system (GPS) data regarding the vehicle;determining if the vehicle location is near a self-park location using GPS data of the self-park location;determining if the vehicle is proximate the self-park location for a threshold period of time that is indicative of the vehicle desiring to enter the self-park location;accessing mapping data defined for the self-park location after the threshold period of time, the mapping data identifying a path within the self-park location and coordinates of at least one physical structure within the self-park location to avoid a collision of the vehicle with the at least one physical structure when the vehicle is automatically moved within the self-park location, wherein the mapping data is made accessible to electronics of the vehicle so that when the vehicle is automatically moved collision with the at least one physical structure is avoided;receiving a request to initiate a self-park process for the vehicle; andinstructing the electronics of the vehicle to proceed with the self-park process, the self-park process acting to instruct the vehicle to automatically move from the current location to the destination location within the self-park location, for the self-park process the electronics use as input at least part of the mapping data and sensor data of at least one vehicle sensor, the electronics are configured to process instructions for drive control of the vehicle while the vehicle is automatically moved at the self-park location, the current location and the destination location being updated dynamically as the current location of the vehicle changes and based on conditions of the destination location, the destination location being a parking location for the vehicle, the method being executed by a processor. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the self-park location includes a plurality of sensors, each of the sensors being associated to physical locations in the self-park location, and selected ones of the sensors monitoring a volume of space to detect changes. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the changes in the volume of space include presence or lack of presence of objects in the volume space over time. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the objects present in the volume of space include one of humans, pets, vehicles, or objects determined to be other than free space for the vehicle to move, park or traverse. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the sensors of the self-park location include sensors of one or more vehicles located in the self-park location. 6. A method for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location without a human operator controlling primary navigation of the vehicle, the method comprising: identifying a vehicle location using global positioning system (GPS) data regarding the vehicle;determining if the vehicle location is near a self-park location using GPS data of the self-park location;accessing mapping data defined for the self-park location after determining that the vehicle is near the self-park location, the mapping data identifying a path within the self-park location and coordinates of at least one physical structure within the self-park location to avoid a collision of the vehicle with the at least one physical structure when automatically moved within the self-park location, wherein the mapping data is made accessible to electronics of the vehicle so that when the vehicle is automatically moved collision with the at least one physical structure is avoided;receiving a request to initiate a self-park process for the vehicle; andforwarding instructions to the vehicle to enable the electronics of the vehicle to proceed with the self-park process, the self-park process acting to control the vehicle to automatically move from the current location to the destination location in the self-park location, the current location and the destination location being updated dynamically as the current location of the vehicle changes and based on conditions of the destination location;wherein the self-park location includes a plurality of sensors, each of the sensors being associated to physical locations in the self-park location, and selected ones of the sensors monitor a volume or area of parking spots to detect changes and avoid collisions, and the sensors identifying when particular ones of the parking spots in the self-park location are available for use, and the availability for use is updated from time to time to identify parking spots that become occupied or become available, wherein said changes are forwarded as an input to the electronics of the vehicle for the self-park process;wherein the GPS data regarding the vehicle and the GPS data of the self-park location is used to process one or more instructions for drive control of the vehicle while the vehicle is automatically moved at the self-park location;wherein the electronics of the vehicle include hardware and software on-board the vehicle and the electronics of the vehicle communicate with a server to exchange data to manage at least part of the self-park process for the automatic movement of the vehicle. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the self-park location is one of a parking garage, a parking lot, a private property area, a garage and drive-way, a private residence, a public location, or a combination of private and public spaces. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the instructions to proceed with the self-park process is initiated via a remote computing device, and the remote computing device is a computing device that is either portable or not portable and the remote computing device has access to the Internet to communicate with the server and the electronics of the vehicle, the electronics of the vehicle enabling wireless communication via one or more of a peer-to-peer communication, or Wi-Fi communication, or a near field communication (NFC), or a Bluetooth communication.
