Audi Aims To Make Finding A Parking Spot Not Such A Chore

Audi has teamed up with INRIX to help drivers find that ellusive parking spot.

On Wednesday, Audi announced all vehicles equipped with its Audi Connect system will be upgraded to include INRIX Park. INRIX Park is a real-time navigation service that provides drivers with the ability to search for a parking spot by location, price and availability. From there, the system can provide directions to the spot. The system has 18,000 parking locations in North America, as well as another 42,000 for Europe.

“Helping to ease the challenges that Audi drivers face in their daily drives is the core mission of the Audi connect suite of connected car services. By offering the ability to easily navigate to the best parking spot available for their vehicle, Audi has further simplified and improved the ownership experience,” said Filip Brabec, Director of Product Management, Audi of America.

Audi says the system will be available on about 100,000 Audi vehicles already on U.S. roads. Future Audis will come with INRIX Park from the factory.
