The first known development of the SMART car was in 1994. The idea behind this compact vehicle was that it would be very easy to park. The SMART car is short enough to be parked nose-in where a conventionally sized car would need to be parallel parked. The name SMART was arrived at as an acronym for its developers Swatch Mercedes ART.
