Cyber Valet Services, introduced by a partnership between 8036 Valeo and 1028 Cisco, enables vehicles equipped with Valeo’s Park4U technology to park autonomously in connected car parks.

The driver leaves the vehicle at the car park entrance and activates the automatic parking system using a smartphone. It then continues its journey in automatic mode, combining Valeo’s Park4U, on-board telematics and InBlue secure key systems, with Cisco’s parking controller technologies (which equip car parks with Wi-Fi, video sensors and artificial intelligence-based solutions).

When departing, the car drives itself to meet the driver at the designated pick-up point before exiting the car park.
