Problem
Finding parking in urban environments can be time-consuming and inconvenient. Existing parking solutions often fail to optimize space utilization and provide a seamless user experience, leading to frustration for drivers and inefficiencies for parking operators.
Solution
STEER develops retrofit kits that convert existing commercial passenger vehicles into autonomous driverless systems designed for low-speed applications. These systems enable automated valet parking and remote vehicle retrieval, streamlining the parking process for both drivers and parking facilities. By leveraging advanced sensor and control technologies, STEER's solution allows vehicles to navigate parking structures, optimize space utilization, and enhance the overall parking experience. The technology aims to eliminate the need for drivers to search for parking spots or maneuver in tight spaces.
