-- Is the parking problem really about to become none of your business?
Still circling to the third floor of a mall garage without finding a spot? Staring blankly at a sea of white cars after a music festival? Dashing through the scorching sun or pouring rain to reach your car hundreds of meters away? These scenes may soon be a thing of the past.
On April 26, during the Chery International Business Summit (IBS) in Wuhu, China, OMODA&JAECOO will publicly demonstrate its Valet Parking Driver technology – an innovative smart parking feature designed for young drivers. The live test represents both a significant technological milestone and a strategic step in the brand's global growth plan.
Unlike conventional auto parking systems that depend heavily on clear lane markings, Valet Parking Driver enables a full closed-loop process: cruising to find an available space and then parking automatically, all without the driver needing to be in or near the vehicle. This capability is designed to substantially ease one of the most common frustrations for urban drivers.
The technology will be tested on three SHS hybrid models – JAECOO 5 SHS-H, JAECOO 7 SHS-P, and OMODA 7 SHS-P – in front of nearly 100 global dealer representatives, media, and key opinion leaders. Three demanding scenarios will be demonstrated.
First: “Comes When Called.” Within remote summoning range, the user can use a mobile app to have the vehicle exit its parking space and drive autonomously to a pick-up point. When encountering obstacles such as traffic cones, pedestrians, or other vehicles, the system identifies risks and adjusts its path accordingly – aiming to eliminate the inconvenience of searching for a car in bad weather.
Second: “Leaves When Waved.” After arriving at their destination, the driver simply gets out and activates valet parking via the app. The vehicle cruises to find an available spot, parks precisely, shuts down, and locks. The goal is to make “drop off and go” a practical everyday experience at malls, office buildings, and similar locations.
Third: Human versus machine comparison. In extremely tight spaces and dead-end parking bays, an experienced driver will go head-to-head with the VPD system. The test will evaluate parking efficiency, the number of steering corrections, and final parking quality. The demonstration will reveal whether the system can match or exceed a skilled driver’s performance – and potentially give novice drivers expert-level assistance.
From addressing daily parking stress to shaping future mobility, the global debut underscores OMODA&JAECOO’s commitment to intelligent technology and its vision of co-creating a better life with young people worldwide.
Moving forward, the brand will deepen its focus on intelligent innovation, including hybrid powertrains, smart driving, and areas such as smart robotics, aiming to deliver more imaginative mobility experiences. As Valet Parking Driver makes its debut, this technology that makes parking less of a burden could mark the beginning of “parking freedom” for a new generation of users.
Note: Valet Parking Driver is a driver-assist feature. It is intended for use only in enclosed parking lots and is strictly prohibited on public roads. While using this feature, please remain continuously aware of your surroundings and be ready to take over control of the vehicle when necessary.
