Hyundai Mobis has developed a state-of-the-art parking technology that enables drivers to park their vehicles simply by touching a button, the car parts manufacturer said Tuesday.
The technology is the latest version of the firm's Mobis Parking System (MPS). The MPS 1.0 Premium features the memory parking assist system. When a driver parks their vehicle by operating a path-learning mode, the car automatically learns the specific parking maneuver sequence. This allows automatic parking with just one touch the next time they are at the same site.
Hyundai Mobis converged an ultrasonic sensor with a surround-view monitor for the memory parking system. It can trace a parking distance of up to 100 meters, according to the company.
The company expects the technology to attract particular attention from Europe and China where private garages and reserved parking are prevalent.
The next-generation parking system comes with price competitiveness in that the Hyundai affiliate did not use pricey radars or light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors, Hyundai Mobis said. The company expects the system to win massive orders from its global clients. The system is also forecast to be commercialized rapidly even for mid- to low-priced vehicles, according to the firm.
Hyundai Mobis also upgraded its remote smart parking assist (RSPA) system to make the latest memory parking assistance more accurate.
The company plans to showcase the latest achievement at the AutoSens Brussels 2023 conference which runs for three days from Sept. 19 in the capital of Belgium.
Hyundai Mobis plans to keep garnering related research efforts until it achieves a higher technological level of auto valet parking. The company has also promoted a series of high-tech urban autonomous driving technologies, such as the e-corner system that features a multi-axis driving function that enables vehicles to move left and right.
"The one-touch memory parking assist system is a major elemental technology on our path to developing a completely automatic valet parking system," an official from the company said. "We will keep gaining an upper hand in developing more advanced technologies in line with the rapid rise of autonomous driving and electrification in the global car industry."
