127. Shaping a New Era of Intelligent Parking

Reducing the hassle of parking with technology. That’s the mission of Parkopedia, a global leader in digital parking services. . Using real-time and prediction-based parking space information, Parkopedia has mapped over 90 million off- and on-street parking spaces across 90 countries. Their technology helps drivers find parking quickly and conveniently, including EV charging spaces. With the ability to instantly book and pay in one seamless transaction, world-class companies from Audi to Volkswagen are offering the technology within their connected services. . We sat down with Dr. Brian Holt, Chief Technology Officer, to discuss Parkopedia’s data collection and indoor mapping technology, their “park and charge” EV initiative, and future plans to scale the company. One day, your car may even drop you off and park itself! . We’d love to hear from you. Share your comments, questions and ideas for future topics and guests to [email protected].
