Bosch and Daimler demonstrated unmanned car parking in real conditions

The world premiere took place in the parking lot of the museum Mercedes-Benz 

• Automated parking service on the basis of smartphones launched as a pilot project in the parking lot of the museum Mercedes-Benz
• Bosch has created a project infrastructure, and Daimler has developed automotive technologies
• Unmanned parking saves time and reduces stress levels 

Stuttgart, Germany. Manual parking is a thing of the past. In the parking lot of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Bosch and Daimler realized in practice automated parking. Now, with the help of a smartphone, the driver can automatically park the car in the right place, without monitoring every movement of the car. Automated parking is an important milestone on the road to autonomous driving. The pilot project in the parking lot of the Mercedes-Benz Museum is the world's first infrastructure solution for a fully automated parking service in real conditions with or without drivers. Since early 2018, visitors will be able to try out this convenient for them service in the museum parking lot and save time for parking.:

Automatic movement to the parking place and back

Now, with the help of a smartphone and a special mobile application, anyone can order a car. The journey begins when an unmanned vehicle drives up to a call site. Returning the car is just as simple: the customer leaves the vehicle in a special parking compartment and returns the car with a mobile application. As soon as the intelligent parking system identifies the car, it automatically leaves to the designated place.

The creation of an automated parking was made possible thanks to the interaction of the intelligent parking system infrastructure from Bosch and the automotive technologies of the company Mercedes-Benz. The sensors installed in the parking control the parking corridor and the adjacent area, directing the car. Technologies implemented in the car allow you to safely execute the commands of the parking system and, if necessary, stop the vehicle on time. The sensors of the parking infrastructure and communication technologies were developed by Bosch. In turn, Daimler provided private parking for the museum and test cars. Together with Bosch, the company will establish interaction between the infrastructure and the vehicle and will make the necessary changes in the sensor technologies and software of cars.

The world's first permit for the work of automated parking 

The premiere will be followed by an intensive stage of testing and launch. From the outset, the project was controlled by local authorities (by the regional administration of Stuttgart and the Ministry of Transport of Baden-Württemberg), as well as by experts from TÜV Rheinland to assess the safety of automotive and parking technology. Regulatory authorities should give the final permission for the opening of the world's first automated parking in the museum Mercedes-Benz in early 2018. Thus, Bosch and Mercedes-Benz will be able to test how users will deal with the automated parking of cars. The existing parking lots can also be modernized using new technologies. For their operators, unmanned parking will mean more efficient use of parking spaces: it will be possible to accommodate 20% more cars in the same area.
