Valeo parks the car without the driver behind the wheel

摘要

Valeo has developed a remotely controlled parking assist system based on its Park4U technology. It could be in production by 2014. The system uses wireless technology to connect with the driver's smartphone, so customers can park their vehicle without the need to be behind the wheel. Park4U Remote can park the vehicle either perpendicular or parallel, scanning for a space at speeds of up to 30km/h. It has been designed so it can be synchronised with both Apple OS and Android devices. Valeo said: "The system uses the same basic sensor technology as Park4U, and the data exchange takes place over the CANbus network. The only difference is that it can only be used with an automatic transmission."
