I am finding myself at the moment, I've driven around now 45 minutes looking for a place to park and I know a few of these companies that do parking technology, I've never used it. Is it something that's functional? I mean is it realistic that we can have it everywhere? I mean how much work goes into it? Does anybody have any idea? I remember next to Jesus Christ, sorry I just I just got almost run over by a bus. I remember in my neighbouring office at some point, there was a company called Api Parking and they've raised a lot of money, they're growing big now. But yeah, does anybody have any experience using them? Is it something that I maybe should invest in? because this is a nightmare.
So while there are America parking apps available across the world at least here in the states depending on what state you're in the most accurate that you're going to get is what types of parking available in an area how long you could park and that's about it but if you know of any technology where they let you know exactly how many spots are available that would be interesting to look into Shocked that they don't have anything right now because it would
Yeah, exactly. I thought I remembered looking at some of this and they were actually basically they put down these little pads and parking spots to recognize if something's covering it or not, so if it's free or not. But yeah, that makes sense that we're kind of type of parking. But yeah, definitely we do need, we need something to tell us if there are spots available.
I haven't come across much myself but I was thinking of a way in how councils could use it. So say there's bays within areas, say you've got the City of London and each bay is coded so it could be 1111 as an instance. And then when people leave their centres which tell the space if there's a car in it or not. It takes quite a bit of investment, but I think that is a great solution.
That would be absolutely sick. And I wonder if... There's one side actually, I'm wondering if it would be frustrating as well, because if, let's say, 50 people live in the same area, and all of them see the same bay open, That's gonna cause traffic jams
