A critical question for the parking industry\u2019s future:<\/strong> 
Will we still need parking systems in the age of autonomous vehicles (AVs)? And if the answer is yes, how must they evolve in purpose, design, and operation? More importantly, when will this transformation take place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, the parking system exists because cars exist. As the automobile industry has evolved, so too has parking. Until now, even \u201csmart\u201d parking systems have had limited interaction with the vehicles themselves, the communication typically occurs with the owner, not the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this is about to change. In a future dominated by self-driving cars, parking systems must interact directly with the vehicles. Without human drivers, cars will need to \u201ctalk\u201d to the infrastructure, and that simple truth will redefine the entire parking landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes,\u202fparking systems will still be needed in an autonomous future<\/strong>, but for reasons that go far beyond traditional parking. Here\u2019s why and how the industry will transform: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
