OMODA & JAECOO has successfully completed a global public real-world demonstration of its advanced Valet Parking Driver (VPD) technology during the Chery International Business Summit in Beijing, marking a significant leap forward in AI-powered smart mobility.
Global Showcase Signals a New Era of Smart Mobility
The live demonstration took place in front of international media, dealers, and key opinion leaders, including representatives from the UAE. The event highlighted how VPD technology is set to transform one of the most common urban driving challenges—parking—into a seamless, fully automated experience.
This milestone coincides with OMODA & JAECOO surpassing one million cumulative global vehicle sales, further reinforcing the brand’s rapid global expansion and innovation-driven strategy.
Fully Autonomous Parking Without Driver Intervention
Unlike traditional parking assistance systems, the VPD solution delivers a complete, closed-loop autonomous parking experience. Vehicles equipped with the system can independently locate available parking spaces, navigate complex environments, and execute precise parking maneuvers—all without requiring the driver to be inside or even near the vehicle.
Through a dedicated mobile application, users can fully control the system, whether summoning their vehicle or activating autonomous parking with a single command.
Smart Features That Redefine User Experience
The VPD system introduces a set of advanced features designed to enhance convenience and usability:
“Come When Called”: Enables the vehicle to autonomously drive to the user upon request via the mobile app.
“Leave When Waved”: Allows the vehicle to independently search for a parking spot and park itself after the driver exits.
These capabilities represent a major step toward reducing driver effort and increasing reliance on intelligent automation.
Proven Performance in Complex Real-World Conditions
The real-world testing validated the system’s capabilities across a wide range of challenging scenarios, including tight parking spaces, mechanical parking systems, dead-end roads, and crowded shopping mall environments requiring long-distance vehicle retrieval.
Equipped with advanced environmental perception technology, VPD demonstrated real-time obstacle detection and smooth route planning, completing the full parking cycle—from identifying a parking space to navigation, parking, and vehicle retrieval.
Outperforming Human Drivers in Key Metrics
In a compelling human-versus-machine comparison, the VPD system was tested against a professional driver with over 15 years of experience. The results showed that the system outperformed the human driver across all major performance indicators, including parking speed, number of steering adjustments, and overall accuracy.
The system delivered faster, smoother, and more precise results, eliminating unnecessary corrections and enhancing efficiency.
High Relevance for UAE’s Urban Landscape
The introduction of VPD technology is particularly significant for the UAE market, where cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi face high-density parking challenges. The system offers a practical solution to common issues such as tight parking spaces in malls, peak-hour congestion, and limited parking availability.
By removing the need to search for parking or walk long distances—especially in extreme weather conditions—the technology enhances user convenience and reduces stress, particularly for younger or less experienced drivers.
Strategic Expansion Driven by AI Innovation
The successful demonstration reinforces OMODA & JAECOO’s position as a technology-first automotive brand focused on younger generations, with a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence and smart mobility solutions.
As part of its global growth strategy, the brand is targeting markets like the UAE as early adopters of next-generation mobility technologies.
AiMOGA Robotics Ecosystem Takes Center Stage
In addition to VPD, OMODA & JAECOO also showcased its AiMOGA robotics ecosystem during the summit. The system features interactive robots designed to elevate mobility experiences through intelligent reception, human-machine interaction, and advanced applications.
This integration reflects the brand’s broader vision of combining artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart mobility into a unified and future-ready ecosystem.
Toward a Future of “Parking Freedom”
Looking ahead, OMODA & JAECOO continues to push the boundaries of intelligent mobility, paving the way for a future defined by “parking freedom.” In this vision, drivers are freed from the stress and inconvenience of parking, replaced by a fully automated, effortless experience controlled at the touch of a button.
