Fully automatic driving or will solve parking problems to save time and urban land

According to foreign media reports, a new study from the University of Toronto in Canada shows that autonomous vehicles may play an important role in parking, because they can complete parking operations on their own, and drivers do not need to bother.

In order to achieve a perfect balance between parking lot and parking time, the researchers produced a computer model for testing different configurations. According to the analysis results, in the square parking lot, the space utilization rate is 87% higher than that of the conventional parking lot. However, the trouble is waiting, and the team thinks it will take an extra 62% of the time.

If you own a self-driving vehicle, you don't need to go to the parking lot yourself. Just get off at the destination and let the vehicle drive into the parking lot. However, the parking lot will benefit from this. The benefits of this measure are obvious: more vehicles can be brought into the current parking lot, or the area of ​​the parking lot can be reduced, and more valuable land can be saved for the city.

Of course, the realization of the above vision is to configure fully self-driving cars. In the near future, the government is not expected to re-plan parking lots. However, the researchers pointed out that when demand arises, there may be two parking lots in the future, which are used for self-driving cars and non-self-driving cars.
