Mercedes Cars To Soon Give Heads Up To Each Other On Vacant Parking Spots

To help end the blind search for a parking gap in crowded city streets, Mercedes-Benz cars will start giving each other a headsup when a space is free.

Drivers often pass by vacant spots when they’re not looking to park and that information will be noted by the car and uploaded to help others, under a pilot project in Stuttgart, Germany, between Mercedes and parts supplier Robert Bosch GmbH, the two companies said Friday in a statement.
