SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY: Daimler and Bosch aim to automate parking via Mercedes cars with a built in valet.

Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler is set to begin working in partnership with Bosch on the development of a new smartphone app-controlled system that would enable a car to drop off its driver and passengers then autonomously locate and manoeuvre into an available parking bay. 

The system, which will require cameras and sensors to be installed in car parks, will initially be integrated into car2go's vehicle fleet. Car2go is Daimler's car-sharing service and one that relies heavily on smartphone apps and connectivity as a means of allowing customers to book and pay for car use – making it the perfect test environment.
