VAIL Autonomous Valet Parking Demo

[mtothem1337]

what if there is no free space? :D will it just drive off? rofl

[v12tommy]

I think Stanford might have overlooked a critical issue here. If your thought it was hard to find your car in a large parking lot before, what happens when your car goes off and parks itself?

[Tim0508]

@v12tommy

there's a return button. so once you hit it, the car automatically drives to the place you told it to start looking for a parking spot :)

[hasanma]

engadget sent me here!

[Talespsg]

a little bit of oil out?! 0:52

[zertyahya]

i cant parking that good andiam student driver

[HU4Lbitches]

this is so tight

[kenny1309]

@HU4Lbitches

that is so loose.

[isokessu]

Pretty cool but how can it "see" or something :l is there some infrared sensors? Peoples will not make humanoid robot what could drive car well enough in winter without abs and all ..at least in 30-50 years I think ..but it's easier to make robot car what has many sensors

[bravecat100]

One day it'll park so well we don't need car insurance. Insurance companies will try to stifle the technology.

[bigitalian87]

Just think computer technology is so advanced dont you think hackers would like figure something out on how to intercept the signal or the control of the car something along the lines of that ?

[bravecat100]

How would a hacker intercept a hard wired car without breaking inside the car?

[bigitalian87]

oh you will be surprised

[molinobeer]

because of the movies people think that a hacker can do every thing, he needs a door to enter some connection to the system.. if this car is autonomous or is not programed to accept order, nobody can remotly control it.

[dante4d]

@bigitalian87 Better think of someone intercepting your subscriptions to porn sites and stealing all your money. And that's not hacking.

[citrusspoon]

i want one

[mcashar]

thats dumb and thats not valet parking .

[RoboTekno]

epic

[realsschevelle]

I can do that to with my remote control toys r us camaro

[ShinjuKogawa]

So cool!

[humantestdummy]

remember the movie Maximum Overdrive? hahah

[BOUNTYWAY]

wheres the remote control?

some day this thing is gonna break and start driving into buildings.

[KeukaRyder]

Pretty cool.

Maybe Kurzweil is right, all it takes is more transistors in a smaller volume.

[oogiemaster]

Computer glitch! ooops! I might wake up one day with a Volkswagen Passat on my driveway....It might not necessarily a bad thing. LOL!

[GalmTeamLeader]

The MK VI looks great!

[susanlarissa3228]

money does not buy class. but big tits do

[sweetmeat905]

@susanlarissa3228 i coundnt say it any better my self

[user0118]

What happens if it can't find a parking space? lol

[Drecc69]

System Overload *BOOM* or it'll just park like 3 miles away lol

[xp3rth4x0r]

its just a technological showcase. something like this won't be around in the real world for a very long time.

[JTfromSTL]

Lazy ass people... park your own farking cars.. sheesh!!!

[joelnichole]

It relieved itself at 0:51. Performance jitters?

[gothsaiko]

awesome o_O

WANT!

[Ac1dy]

amazing)

[SexxyBea91]

fänds cool wen mich jemand vor meinen allein da sein rettet

[HecticoPacotilla24]

there goes my job lol

[TimSAksu]

hahahaha

[myblackstar]

Lots of hrdwr.come on guys if we can already guide a Predator drones aircraft or a cruise missile to become basically a hitman from hundreds of miles away on a very compact package.U should B able to make a guidance and nav system smaller then what u guys currently have going on here + Mercedes & Lexus already have a Models out W/Automatic parking Mode S6.3 AMG (this one has the Radar cruise control system already, and also a safety future if the driver falls to sleep) or LS600hl.

[Pacione620]

Nice!!!

But the glass of wine behind the car in the first images??? ;-)

[Reiku03]

There goes somebodys job

[fannibal]

Wow! that is so cool! I can't wait to get a production car with one of these retrofitted.

[WereRabbbit]

Look on the street with a sign that says Sex for attention, and Im sure some fine looking homeless man will come and take up the offer. ;)

[ViniCarvalho88]

Espetacular!

[rafaelsgarcia]

The judgment day is really coming...

[Csirke4]

Finally!

Been waiting for that for ages. ;)

[HecticoPacotilla24]

no man,, im gonna lose my part time job,, that invention is so mean lol

[plasticpals1]

Awesome

[zhevox]

you VAIL

[LineMasterJorbob]

Now bad drivers have no excuse. If an autonomous car is able to back into a parking space without ease, they should be able to as well.

[mullacorg]

Are you serious?

Computers can react and compute faster than a human could in a car. This cars has a couple computers, lasers, cameras all helping park the car. Whereas a human has a pair of eyes that can only face one direction when driving.

[Isanion]

very very nice.

But that little wiggle at 0:53 is gonna give some hapless programmer a week of puzzled debugging.

[CactosS]

a hot sell for woman
