Never search for parking again with this concept from Samsung, Seat and SAP
Driving around looking for a parking spot becomes a thing of the past in a new concept developed by Samsung, Spanish automaker Seat and SAP.
The three envision drivers in the future calling up a map of a car park on a smartphone app, then selecting, reserving and paying for an available space from their phones. When they get to the car park, they can drive right up and park without any fuss.
The concept will be on show at this week's Mobile World Congress expo in Barcelona, which is close to the headquarters of Seat. It was developed out of a partnership that began last year between Seat and Samsung and now includes SAP.
It runs on the back of Samsung Pay, which handles the prepayment of the space, and the SAP Vehicles Network, developed by SAP for the automotive industry companies like car park operators.
