If you think you’d feel comfortable getting out of your car, tapping a button on your smartphone, and then watching your vehicle trundle off into the distance all by itself, then automated valet parking may be right up your street.

Ford has teamed up with Bosch in Detroit, Michigan, for what it describes as "the first U.S. infrastructure-based solution for automated valet parking" inside a parking garage.

ford releases self driving car data to researchers

Ford's self-driving car program is experiencing delays, but the automaker hopes that others will pick up the baton. Ford is releasing what it calls a "comprehensive self-driving vehicle dataset" to researchers. The goal is to promote further research and development of autonomous driving tech, Tony Lockwood, Ford autonomous vehicle manager, said in a blog post.

The package comprises data from multiple test vehicles operating in Detroit, collected over a one-year span, Lockwood said. The testing that generated this data was separate from work Ford is doing with Argo A.I. to develop a production-ready autonomous driving system, Lockwood noted.
