How many people, apart from yourself, will ever have any interest in computing the exact area (or even the approximate area) of a parking areas? How many people will want to look for parking areas and how to access them? You appear to be insisting that it is more important that people be able to compute the area of parking areas than be able to look at a map and figure out how to access a parking area, or for autonomous vehicles to know that the parking area is even accessible. I find your way of mapping such things confusing, misleading, and unrepresentative of accessibility. But it's very good for calculating the area. Except I doubt that I will ever need to calculate the area, and I doubt many others will, either. Autonomous vehicles will need to figure out how to access the parking area. Your example was unrepresentative of most parking bays in that it was large enough to have an aisle so an autonomous vehicle would realize it is accessible; the original poster's example did not have an aisle and therefore an autonomous vehicle would not realize it's accessible. But at least the autonomous vehicle would be able to calculate the exact area of the parking area it thinks it inaccessible, which appears to be all that matters to you. -- Paul
