CHERY, a leading car manufacturer, has confirmed plans to introduce its Super Intelligent Parking technology to the UAE market, reinforcing its commitment to bringing advanced smart driving solutions to local customers.

Aaron Zheng, Executive Deputy General Manager of CHERY International Marketing Center, delivered an in-depth presentation on the core capabilities, technological foundation, and typical application scenarios of the feature. 

This marks the first time a Chinese automaker has advanced the mass-production application of an end-to-end large-model-driven intelligent parking technology overseas, bringing "One Tap Departure, One Step Home" closer to reality and establishing an important milestone as China's intelligent driving officially enters the "end-to-end" era on the global stage.

One Tap Departure, One Step Home

Have you ever experienced moments like these: circling endlessly in an underground garage, unable to find a spot; finally squeezing into a space so tight that the door opens only a crack, forcing you to shimmy out sideways and brush against a dirty car; or returning with arms full of shopping, only to wander a vast parking lot relying on a hazy memory of where you left your car? These seemingly trivial frustrations quietly chip away at the joy of every trip.

The CHERY Super Intelligent Parking function confronts these real-world parking and mobility pain points head-on. For departure scenarios, there is no need to head back to the parking lot in advance -- simply open the mobile app and tap "One Tap Summon." Your car will autonomously pull out of its space, glide smoothly to the designated pickup point, and wait for you there, truly realising a car that comes to you rather than you going to the car. For arrival scenarios, you can step out confidently right at the parking lot entrance and leave the rest to the vehicle — it will cruise autonomously inside, precisely identify an available space, and park itself, delivering on the promise of "feet on the ground, home just steps away."

Underpinning this effortless experience is robust, cutting-edge technology and all-around safety. The CHERY Super Intelligent Parking function employs a deeply fused camera and LiDAR solution, powered by a Transformer-based BEV perception algorithm combined with high-definition maps and real-time perceptual positioning technology. This enables the vehicle to navigate dim, complex parking environments as steadily as a seasoned driver. While in motion, the vehicle can proactively recognize oncoming traffic and perform autonomous passing maneuvers, intelligently avoid obstacles or pedestrians, and, when faced with suddenly appearing vehicles or dynamic targets, quickly assess the situation and brake smoothly to mitigate potential risks in time. An end-to-end neural network model and a multimodal dual-redundant prediction mechanism work in concert to ensure every decision is stable, reliable, and composed.

Solving 4 Core UAE Parking Pain Points 

The value of technology lies not in parameters, but in solving the real-life problems of users. For UAE families, parking is also a high-frequency and important travel scenario.

1. Effortless parking hunting at busy mega malls: Iconic UAE shopping destinations face extreme traffic congestion on weekends and public holidays, with drivers spending long periods searching for vacant parking bays. CHERYs autonomous parking system supports intelligent cruise searching, automatic route planning and hands-free parking, drastically simplifying family outings and saving valuable time for users.

2. One-touch summon to avoid extreme summer heat: Summer temperatures in the UAE often exceed 45°C. Outdoor and large-scale mall parking lots usually require users to walk long distances to reach their vehicles under scorching weather. Equipped with a smart vehicle summon function, CHERY models can autonomously drive to the designated pickup point, allowing users to wait in cool, comfortable areas and completely avoid prolonged sun exposure.

3. Precise autonomous parking for narrow parking spaces: Tight parking bays are common in residential underground garages and commercial parking lots across the UAE, making vehicle entry and exit extremely inconvenient. CHERY’s high-precision intelligent parking technology achieves accurate autonomous parking and exiting. Users can get on and off the vehicle in spacious areas in advance, eliminating the trouble of squeezing in and out of narrow spaces.

4. Convenient family pick-up experience for daily outings: For local families traveling with children and elderly members, curbside pick-up and drop-off at malls, restaurants and entertainment venues is a regular demand. CHERY’s smart summon function enables “the car to find the user”, delivering a more convenient, comfortable and humanized travel experience for family trips. – TradeArabia News Service
