The car then continues its trajectory automatically up to its parking spot, and will be able to find the driver at the meeting point in the car park, on simple activation.
The movement of the vehicle to the interior of the building is based on the combination of the technologies of automatic parking, Valeo Park4U® Auto, telematics onboard Valeo and secure key, Valeo InBlue®, with technologies Cisco “Parking Controller” fitted in the parking lots of Wi-fi, sensors, video and technology based on artificial intelligence.
The sensors of the vehicle, coupled to the information generated by the equipment installed in the car park, allow the vehicle to understand its surroundings with extreme accuracy and at any time, to anticipate and to calculate its trajectory until the end of the maneuver . The management of all these data allows the vehicle to move in an infrastructure of parking complex, including multiple levels and in any security, including through the integrated gps and the sensors in the vehicle.
