Hitachi Automotive Systems and Clarion are to jointly develop a remote system which automatically performs parallel and perpendicular parking as well as in garages and exit from outside the vehicle through remote control using smartphones.

The technology combines Clarion's SurroundEye camera monitoring with Hitachi Automotive Systems' vehicle control units and steering and brake actuator control technology to park a vehicle by remote control using a smartphone.

On the phone screen, the system provides a real-time image display of what is around the vehicle as well as the route, enabling the driver to operate the vehicle through automatic parking.

The system makes it possible to park an unmanned vehicle, which is particularly useful when in small spaces such as garages.

It can instantly be stopped by a screen operation on the smartphone if the driver detects a possibly dangerous situation. The vehicle itself has an automatic stop function, which operates when its sensors detect pedestrians or obstacles in the vicinity.
