Stanley Robotics has launched its self-driving robot valets at France's Dusseldorf airport. For €54 ($61) per week, customers can park their vehicle in Stanley's hangars and leave, after which the car is scanned before the self-driving forklift-like robots manoeuvre the vehicle into the 500-space car park. The company claims to use the space 50% more efficiently thanks to the robots' precision and the integration of a customer's return time, allowing vehicles to be parked four rows deep. The system has been tested previously at the airports of Lyon-Saint-Exupery, Charles De Gaulle and Gatwick, but Dusseldorf marks its first full-time service.
