Mercedes automated and driverless parking EQE Saloon
London, 15 August, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) Driving into a car park, exiting the vehicle, and sending it to a pre-booked parking space via smartphone: with the Remote Parking Package and the Mercedes me connect service INTELLIGENT PARK PILOT, the Mercedes‑Benz EQE Saloon is now ready for highly automated and driverless parking (SAE Level 41). Additionally, the so-called Automated Valet Parking service is subsequently available for any equipped EQS Saloon and S‑Class Saloon models by Mercedes‑Benz2 that have already been delivered. The highly automated parking function will soon be available for additional Mercedes-Benz models such as the new E‑Class.
The advantage of this highly automated parking function: Searching for a parking space and parking are no longer necessary. This not only saves customers valuable time but also makes their parking experience more comfortable, especially in narrow parking garages. Via the Mercedes me App, the driver books a parking space in advance and then leaves the vehicle in a designated drop-off area at the parking garage. Once all passengers have exited the vehicle, the driver can initiate the parking maneuver via the Mercedes me App. When the App confirms that the Automated Valet Parking infrastructure has taken control of the vehicle, the driver can leave the parking garage. Guided by the intelligent infrastructure provided by Bosch, the vehicle then automatically drives to the reserved parking space and parks automatically. When customers return to the parking garage, they can easily initiate the pick-up of their vehicle via smartphone. The vehicle automatically pulls out of its parking space, drives to the pick-up area and is ready for departure.
In November 2022, Mercedes-Benz and Bosch received the world’s first approval for commercial use of their highly automated and driverless parking function in Germany. The APCOA parking garage P6 at Stuttgart Airport is the first parking garage worldwide offering Automated Valet Parking to Mercedes-Benz customers.
Rollout for Mercedes-Benz EQS and S-Class
In addition to the EQE Saloon, driverless parking is now also available for all current EQS Saloon and S‑Class models by Mercedes-Benz (excluding models by Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach). The availability no longer depends on a certain production date, making highly automated parking possible for even more customers of Mercedes-Benz.
Planned for the future: driverless parking with the new E‑Class
With the optional pre-installation for INTELLIGENT PARK PILOT, the new E‑Class is prepared for Automated Valet Parking (SAE Level 41). With the Remote Parking Package (optional for the plug-in hybrid model) and the Mercedes me connect service INTELLIGENT PARK PILOT (country-dependent), the new E‑Class has the onboard technology to park and unpark highly automatically without a driver.
