Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, the board member of Bosch responsible for automated technology, says: “Fully automated parking will be ready for mass-production before fully automated driving. Low driving speeds and the information from the car park infrastructure enable a fast implementation.”
A smartphone is used to book a parking space for a vehicle. Once the user is in “the pick-up-zone” of the car park, the car drives up independently. The system registers the vehicle, starts it, and directs it to an assigned parking space.
