Дата: 27-03-19 11:54VALET PARKING BY ROBOT COULD BE THE FUTURE AT GATWICKLondon's Gatwick Airport has today signed a framework contract with Stanley Robotics that will see it become the first UK airport to trial robots to valet park passengers’ cars. The trial will run from the second half of 2019 to early 2020 and passengers will simply leave their car in a well-lit, spacious ‘parking station’ close to the South Terminal entrance and – without handing over keys – the driverless robot will gently lift up the car and store it in a secure car park. The system will also be connected to real-time flight information so the robot simply returns the vehicle to the parking station. The user then receives an SMS that the vehicle is ready and waiting for their arrival. Gatwick's chief commercial officer, Guy Stephenson, enthuses: “The valet parking robots could revolutionise parking at Gatwick and may also become common-place at airports and other businesses across the world. Stéphane Evanno, COO of Stanley Robotics, says: "We are proud to be leading this innovation with Gatwick Airport, whose excellence in operations is recognised globally.
