I would love to see this. Very interesting. As Scott said, maybe put it in an RC car as a proof of concept and show that it would work! I would also love to see you implement some sort of visual aid showing the user how the car is moving.

There is a bit more information on the parking robot competition at:
http://fischertechnik-ag.de/Regularien+Einparkroboter
with dimensions of the 'road' and the penalties encountered.

It looks like they are using the Fischertechnik Robo TXT microcontroller primarily with ultrasonic distance sensing on the front and right-hand side of the car.
