Parking can be difficult in a crowded city, such as in high traffic areas and in busy parking lots. The modern systems of driver assistance aim to help make parking safer and more convenient for drivers, while minimizing stress in tight parking situations.
Selected IM models available through IM Motors UAE feature AI Chauffeur parking assistance technology. This system combines cameras, sensors and intelligent vehicle systems to assist drivers during supported parking manoeuvres.
What Is AI Chauffeur Parking?
AI Chauffeur is a parking assistance system available on selected IM models. Depending on the vehicle specification, the system can assist with identifying suitable parking spaces and supporting certain parking manoeuvres.
The driver remains responsible for supervising the vehicle at all times and should follow all instructions provided in the owner’s manual.
How AI Chauffeur Parking Works
The system uses information from the vehicle’s sensors and cameras to monitor the surrounding environment during supported parking operations.
Depending on the model and UAE specification, available functions may include:
- Parking assistance for suitable parking spaces
- Parallel parking assistance
- Reverse parking assistance
- Additional parking support features
Feature availability may vary by model, trim level and software version.
The Technology Behind the System
AI Chauffeur combines multiple vehicle systems to support parking assistance functions.
Depending on the model specification, these systems may include:
- Vehicle cameras
- Ultrasonic sensors
- Radar systems
- High-performance onboard computing
The system analyzes the information from these elements to help with the steering, braking and positioning of vehicles during supported parking manoeuvres.
Drivers are always on duty and on standby should the need arise to take control.
Driver Assistance and Safety
AI Chauffeur is a driver-assistance function and not an autonomous driving system.
Drivers should always be aware of what is happening around the vehicle, and should always be responsible for operating the vehicle.
AI Chauffeur can operate in conjunction with other driver assistant systems that may be included with the vehicle’s model and model year.
For complete information regarding system capabilities, limitations and operating conditions, drivers should consult the official owner’s manual.
