This document describes techniques and systems for autonomous parking in locations without cellular coverage. A system can include a processor that obtains a request to autonomously park in a parking environment. The system can then determine whether parking space information indicating an available space was obtained. In response to determining that parking space information was obtained, the system can autonomously operate the host vehicle to navigate to and park in the available space. The system determines whether a communication system of the host vehicle has a cellular connection available to aid in the navigation. In response to a determination that the cellular connection is not available, the system communicates the location of the host vehicle to the processor via a proxy vehicle with an operable cellular connection. By utilizing a mesh network among vehicles to share their cellular connections, autonomous parking features may remain available in locations without cellular coverage.
