We introduce the notion of continuous parking sequences as a continuous analogue of parking functions. We allow the cars to have different lengths and the street to be longer than the sum of the lengths of the cars. We determine the volume of the set of continuous parking sequences. Furthermore, we study the distribution where the first car, respectively, the last car would like to park. Joint work with Richard Ehrenborg and Stephan Wagner.
