Salim Mehmood finds it difficult to park his car in the narrow space of his apartmentâs congested lotin Hyderabad Colony in Karachi. A few times he even hit a neighborâs car and had to pay for the break-light and endure the wrath of his elder brother for scratches to their own car doors.
Changan may have an answer to Mehmoodâs problem and people like him. The company is testing self-parking and to some extent the self-driving Level-3 autonomous compact SUV Uni-T.

KARACHI: As the Auto Policy 2016-21 nears its end on June 30, 2021, consumers have not witnessed any rolling out of small 800cc or below cars by new international entrants who instead raced towards introducing sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and high engine power models under duty concessions.
There are also no signs that any international carmakers will be starting a greenfield project for manufacturing 800cc or below vehicles needed by the masses.
Pakistan attracted over one billion dollars in investment from new entrants mainly from Korea and China under the Auto Policy 2016-2021.
The key objective of the 2016-21 auto policy was to bring competition that would result in reduction of car prices, especially in the entry level segment so that the middle-class population of the country would be able to purchase smaller cars.
