Taking a look at the official Mercedes footage of the new S-Class's PARK PILOT system, a self-parking system.

If specified with preinstallation for the INTELLIGENT PARK PILOT, the S-Class is prepared for Automated Valet Parking (AVP, SAE Level 4). In conjunction with the necessary optional equipment and the corresponding Connect service (depending on country), the new S-Class has the onboard technology to enter and leave multi-storey car parks equipped with an AVP infrastructure in highly automated mode and without a driver, provided that national legislation permits such operation.

As standard, the S-Class is equipped with Active Parking Assist with a reversing camera, and on request this can be combined with a 360° camera. In the S-Class, all the information from all sensors and cameras is fusioned. This enables more parking spaces to be recognised and offered. Parking spaces defined by lines (not by vehicles) can also be used for automated parking for the first time.

Mercedes-Benz goes another step further when it comes to parking: If specified with preinstallation for the INTELLIGENT PARKING PILOT, the S-Class is prepared for highly automated driverless parking (Automated Valet Parking, AVP, SAE Level 4). In conjunction with the necessary optional equipment and the corresponding Connect service (depending on country), the new S-Class has the onboard technology to enter and leave multi-storey car parks equipped with an AVP infrastructure in highly automated mode and without a driver, provided that national legislation permits such operation.

The vision: The driver securely parks the vehicle in a designated drop-off area of the multi-storey car park, and after all passengers have left he starts the parking procedure using the smartphone app. The sensor system in the car park checks whether a suitable space is available. If so, the AVP infrastructure confirms the handover of the vehicle for the driver in the app, and he/she can leave the S-Class and depart. The vehicle is then started automatically, and automatically drives to its parking space with the help of the infrastructure installed in the car park. On returning, the driver can let the S-Class drive to a designated pick-up area by smartphone command.
