"Parking" is a necessary part of driving every day, but for people who are not very good at parking technology, every time it is like a battle! While some hotels allow you to enjoy valet parking for a small tip, some people may not want to give your car keys to strangers, and if you have similar problems, the following technology may be exactly what you want!
Recently, mercedes-benz, a major German luxury car manufacturer, and Bosch, a big auto parts supplier, jointly exhibited a set of automatic valet parking system at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, through an EQS equipped with Intelligent Park Pilot, with the LiDAR sensing infrastructure set in the hotel parking lot, in an unmanned way to fully automatically complete the search for parking spaces and parking and other actions, so that the increasingly mature autonomous driving technology once again took a big step forward.
Bosch executives said that EQS's self-driving system can reduce the burden on car owners in daily commuting traffic, and this set of Intelligent Park Pilot can realize valet parking services, making customers more comfortable and relaxed in their daily lives. Mercedes-Benz executives said that this automatic valet parking system has been pre-installed in high-end models such as S-Class and EQS in Europe, and has a number of optional items, which will be gradually expanded to various models in the future.
The operation process of the system is very simple, before you want to stop, the driver can first move to the outside of the car and open the mobile phone APP, the vehicle will automatically drive into the parking lot, through the sensors in the field to automatically check whether there is a parking space, and finally the EQS is parked properly. When the car owner is looking for a car, he can also summon the vehicle to the designated location through the mobile phone APP. Mercedes-Benz believes that this technology can save customers time in finding parking spaces, and let people who are not good at parking find a good "parking brother".
