Self-parking automobile park demonstrated by Daimler and Bosch

Bosch and Daimler have teamed up to demonstrate autonomous valet vehicle parking at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, with a view to opening up the service to the public in early 2018 following trials and testing.
The vehicle parking garage itself is kitted out with dedicated valet and self-parking infrastructure, which works alongside receivers and sensors in the car. The sensors in the vehicle parking garage beam instructions to the car, to safely guide it around the automobile park and into a vehicle parking space. While the automobiles are supplied by Mercedes, the sensors are Bosch made and fitted.

Visitors to the Mercedes-Benz museum can reserve one of the automobiles through a smartphone app, which is also used to summon and drop off the automobile from a dedicated valet space in the automobile park.
Bosch says that the technology can be retrofitted to older cark parks, and that in the future such systems will cause a lot more efficient use of space – the firm thinks that the same amount of space can accommodate 20 per cent a lot more automobiles if automobiles are left to park themselves. 
The system is the current self-driving development presented by Bosch and Mercedes parent company Daimler. earlier this year, the two firms announced a tie-up to develop fully-autonomous driving systems, with a view to offer on-demand self-driving automobiles in the early 2020s.
