Audi drivers get a little help with parking

Audi drivers are to get a little help in their search for a parking spot, thanks to the new Inrix Park service. The new offering, which is being rolled out to Audi Connect users, provides detailed analysis of the best off-street parking options at 34,000 parking garages and structures across Europe. Audi drivers who use the service can get turn-by-turn directions to the car park, as well as rates and hours. In some cases, the service will even show the number of available parking spots.

2125 Audi drivers are to get a little help in their search for a parking spot, thanks to the new 163 Inrix Park service.

The new offering, which is being rolled out to Audi Connect users, provides detailed analysis of the best off-street parking options at 34,000 parking garages and structures across Europe. Audi drivers who use the service can get turn-by-turn directions to the car park, as well as rates and hours. In some cases, the service will even show the number of available parking spots.
 
Audi is said to be the first auto maker to roll out the new offering from Inrix, which historically has provided its traffic navigation service to device makers and auto manufacturers. Parking information represents a major move in a new area.
 
“With drivers looking for parking accounting for up to a third of all traffic in our cities, Inrix Park demonstrates how new data driven services can help drivers save time and frustration on the road,” said Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of INRIX.

    Although car-sharing and ride-sharing could drastically reduce car sales, David Crawford finds some US automakers are keen to participate in the sharing economy. Growing consumer interest in car- and ride-sharing, as opposed to outright ownership, and ride-sharer Uber’s recently stated intention to make its brand competitive with ownership on cost, are making the major US automotive manufacturers think seriously about their future sales prospects.
