Abstract—A transmission system in automobile consists of a gear box and differential. A differential is a component used to distribute torque and helps while turning. It also provides better drivability. In this project we are going to use a component that can transmit torque from the engine without a differential and act as automatic transmission. The purpose of this is to overcome the short coming of differential and provide automatic transmission for better drivability. For this, we have developed a component that will be connected through a gear array. It will act as automatic transmission. Presently the front wheels can move only up to 45°. We are also developing a smart parking system which will be completely mechanical and can be easy installed in present cars. For the parking system we are using flexible shaft and a new type of steering mechanism which can turn the wheel to 90°.
