Everyone hates being late for a meeting or a movie at the theatre and having trouble finding a parking spot! Nissan’s self-parking chairs are a creative solution to this problem.
These chairs can move and position themselves at a table in response to claps thanks to the installation of motors and Wi-Fi control.
Nissan’s Self-Parking chairs
They worked with the furniture company Okamura to make this concept a reality. The seats are controlled by motion-detecting cameras in the area.
Although the self-parking chairs might seem like a novelty item, company’s main objective was to showcase its advanced parking assist technology for cars.
The purpose of this technology, which is now a component of PROPILOT ASSIST, is to make parking for drivers easier and safer.
ProPILOT Assist from Nissan combines steering assistance, intelligent cruise control, and a stop-and-hold capability to bring the car to a complete stop and restart speed when the traffic starts moving again. It also offers the option of self-parking.
The chairs that park themselves are a genius demonstration of how the technology works in real-world situations.
The chairs show how valuable this technology could be in other areas of our lives even though they are not for sale.
Imagine being able to enter a restaurant or theatre with the chairs moving out of the way to give you a clean path.
This technology could maximise office space by allowing chairs to move and adjust based on user needs. Nissan’s self-parking chairs are a creative and enjoyable way to show off its intelligent parking assist technology.
Although the chairs were never sold, they serve as a reminder of how technology has the potential to enhance our lives’ effectiveness and quality.
Although Japan takes pleasure in using technology to make almost every area of daily life more easy, we never could have predicted this one: self-parking chairs!
The Intelligent Parking Chairs are equipped with a system of wireless signals, ceiling-mounted, motion-detecting cameras, and a circular chassis with wheels at the bottom of each chair. They were published on Nissan’s YouTube website on Sunday.
In the video, a person can merely clap their hands loudly to cause a whole group of disorganised chairs to come to life and arrange themselves back under the table to their designated spots. However, this portion isn’t explained.
There are no plans to sell these to consumers, a Nissan spokeswoman confirmed(Opens in a new tab), and following closer inspection, it appears that this is really just Nissan’s cunning approach to advertise their new Intelligent Park Assist self-parking car system.
