You will the following situation will probably recognize: you are finally at the place of destination, it still takes a half hour for a parking spot have found.

That is, within a few years past. The European Union cooperates with the V-Charge consortium (o.a. Volkswagen and Bosch) on a system that, without human actions can park. They have focused on airports and train stations, in public places, many drivers come together.

The idea behind the parking system is simple: you leave your car behind at the entrance of the garage, start a smartphone app and the car is doing independently of the rest. This is, among others, made use of the technology and sensors in the cars themselves, combined with cameras and sensors in the parking garage.

So looking for the car itself, an empty parking space and he can very exactly be parked. This is not only useful if you regularly the reflection of your neighbor is tapped, but also for electric cars. That may be so namely in addition to a charging station to be parked, so that also charge automatically.

The system comes out of the tube of V-Charge, where in addition to Volkswagen and Bosch scientists from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, work on the project. The first test at Stuttgart Airport was successful, so it won’t be long before the technology on a larger scale is made available.
