Let\u2019s face it: parking sucks. From endlessly searching for a spot during peak traffic times, to performing surgeon-esque maneuvers in order to fit into a tight space, it\u2019s always a nightmare.<\/span><\/p>\n

My dream is a world where my car will drop me off, park itself, and then pick me up whenever I want.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome down to Earth, Ioanna<\/span>,<\/span><\/i>\u201d you might say, \u201cit\u2019ll never happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But you\u2019d be wrong. Because my dream is coming true as we speak. <\/span><\/p>\n

The technology is known as automated valet parking (AVP) \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t even need full self-driving functionality. A modern vehicle equipped with electric power steering, electronic shifting, and connectivity capabilities is good enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve investigated the companies deploying AVP and where they are with the technology. Let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n

CARIAD<\/h3>\n

CARIAD<\/a>, the Volkswagen Group\u2019s automotive software subsidiary, presented its automated valet parking system<\/a> at last year\u2019s IAA Mobility<\/a> event in Munich. <\/span><\/p>\n

Part of the show\u2019s parking garage was transformed to demonstrate how CARIAD\u2019s AVP uses physical infrastructure to enable autonomous car parking. <\/span><\/p>\n

The parking garage and the vehicle are interconnected via a standardized communications interface. A kit is installed in the car. Then, thanks to the sensors, cameras, and radars installed all over the designated area, the garage itself monitors vehicle movement, feeding it information throughout.<\/p>\n
