Smart parking is state-owned. The parking spaces for smart parking are demarcated by the state, and the traffic police brigade under the Traffic Police Bureau manages illegal parking, while parking companies uniformly handle fee collection. Smart parking primarily involves converting originally free blue parking spaces into paid parking spaces marked with white lines and yellow berth numbers. The parking fees for smart parking are relatively high, and there are instances of arbitrary charges. Additionally, there are cases where the entry and exit images do not match the same vehicle. Moreover, on some two-way roads, one lane is converted into paid parking spaces, obstructing normal traffic flow for motor vehicles. Smart Parking: Smart parking refers to the integrated application of wireless communication technology, mobile terminal technology, GPS positioning technology, and GIS technology in the collection, management, query, reservation, and navigation services of urban parking spaces. It achieves real-time updates, queries, reservations, and integrated navigation services for parking space resources, maximizing parking space utilization, optimizing parking lot profits, and enhancing parking services for vehicle owners. Functions of Smart Parking: The 'smart' aspect of smart parking is reflected in: 'intelligent parking space finding + automatic parking fee payment.' It serves vehicle owners in daily parking, staggered-time parking, parking space rental, automotive aftermarket services, reverse vehicle finding, and parking space navigation.

I was really curious about the smart parking system I used at the mall once. It actually feels more like a public-private partnership. The hardware, like cameras and sensors, is usually developed and installed by tech companies—I’ve worked with a startup that specializes in license plate recognition, for example. But the parking lots are mostly planned by the government, and roadside parking spaces are designated by traffic authorities. When it comes to payment, platforms like WeChat Pay and Alipay handle the transactions, but the pricing standards have to be approved by the pricing bureau. Nowadays, it’s more common for new residential complexes to purchase full-service packages from private companies, while municipal roads are more complicated—I heard in Shenzhen, the government tenders contracts to private operators. At the end of the day, the technology belongs to companies, but the management authority lies with the state. When you use it, you can’t even tell who’s running things behind the scenes.

What does the parking assistance system mean?

The parking assistance system is an extension of the parking radar function. More details about the parking assistance system are as follows: 1. When reversing, it helps the driver detect obstacles and predicts the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles. The parking assistance system can detect obstacles outside the driver's field of vision and informs the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles through certain signals. Whether it is children playing behind the car or low-lying objects such as stone piers, stone pillars, fences, and fire hydrants, they can be detected in the first place. 2. If the assistance system fails, it will emit a high-pitched long tone, and the switch indicator light will flash. Please contact the dealer/authorized repair shop as soon as possible.

How to Use the S Gear in a Car?

S gear is the sport mode of a car ("S" stands for "sport"). Many automatic transmission cars are equipped with an S gear, and some high-end models also feature an S gear design. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to operate at low gear and high RPM for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. The method for using the S gear is as follows: 1. First, enter the car, fasten the seat belt, and then start the engine. Turn on the left turn signal to begin driving. 2. Then, start driving normally in D gear. 3. After starting in D gear, shift to S gear when overtaking or climbing a slope.

What does the yellow engine oil light mean?

The yellow engine oil light indicates that the engine oil level is too low. Here is more information about the yellow engine oil light: 1. The yellow engine oil light means the oil level is insufficient. If the vehicle has not reached its maintenance interval, it reminds the owner to add engine oil promptly. Insufficient engine oil usually affects the overall lubrication of the engine, especially for components lubricated by crankshaft splash, which may experience increased wear or even damage. 2. If the yellow engine oil light is on but the oil level is not low, it may be due to a faulty oil pressure sensor. The owner can visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection to identify and resolve the issue.
