A method for the delayed parking optimization of an autonomous vehicle includes activating a delayed parking optimization mode in a vehicle and, during the delayed parking optimization mode, detecting a presence of one or more passengers in the vehicle. On condition that no further passengers are detected in the vehicle, a delay period is initiated subsequent to which the vehicle engages the transmission of the vehicle from park to reverse, applies power to cause the vehicle to back out of the parking spot onto the roadway, engages the transmission into drive, applies power and manages steering and braking of the vehicle in order to navigate the vehicle forward on the roadway beyond the parking spot, engages the transmission into reverse, applies power and manages steering of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to back into the parking spot and engages the transmission of the vehicle into park.
