A controller for an autonomous vehicle detects movement of a bezel on a smartwatch or other wearable device with wireless communication capabilities. A driver initiates a parking maneuver. The controller executes the parking maneuver only so long as movement of the bezel is detected in order to ensure that the driver is present and engaged. If movement of the bezel ceases, the controller will pause the parking maneuver. In some embodiments, direction of rotation of the bezel will determine whether the vehicle moves forward or in reverse in to a parking spot.
