I want to know what mechanisms the car provides to ensure you're lined up to the mat correctly. Seems like a small target to hit.

  Plenty of modern cars have all-round cameras that track what you've driven over. Probably pretty easy if it has that.

  As you approach, the dashboard starts showing the mat position on the ground relative to your car and helps you align perfectly. There's a longer youtube video explaining a lot of the tech in there: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeMQfA45LN8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeMQfA45LN8
