The operating model
How Park AV works
Autonomous vehicles need depots for charging, cleaning, maintenance and inspections. They also need predictable places to park between trips. Park AV connects fleets with dedicated spaces at apartments, hotels and commercial properties near the areas they serve.
The distinction: Depots service the vehicle. Park AV keeps it near the next rider.
Two places. Two different jobs.
A depot handles the work a vehicle needs. A Park AV space handles the time between trips, giving dispatch a known place to park a registered vehicle near its operating area.
Depot model
Charging, cleaning, maintenance and inspections stay at the fleet's service location.
Parked near demand
Dedicated monthly spots give dispatch a predictable place for vehicles between trips, near the areas the fleet serves.
How it works
- 1
Choose a spot
A fleet selects a dedicated monthly space near the areas it serves.
- 2
Reserve
Dispatch holds the space through the Park AV API with a 30-minute hold while a vehicle is en route.
- 3
Arrive & park
The vehicle parks and waits near demand. Any vehicle in the fleet can rotate through the same dedicated spot, one at a time.
- 4
Leave
Dispatch reports the departure as soon as the vehicle leaves, making the spot available again.
- 5
Review
Park AV records the reservation, arrival, departure and parked time for the visit.
Who it's for
Autonomous fleet operators
Secure predictable parking near demand. Under the standard model, one dedicated spot is $99 per month, with dispatch access and a record of every visit.
Property owners
Put underused spaces to work. Choose the spaces, start with a few, control their availability and receive a $49.50 monthly share for each activated spot under the standard model.
What Park AV is not
- · It is not consumer parking — no public reservations, no hourly rates.
- · It is not ride-hailing — Park AV never touches passenger or trip data.
- · It is not a replacement for depots — charging, cleaning, and maintenance still belong there.
Park AV is assembling its first Atlanta network. Sample locations are illustrative and do not imply a fleet or property partnership.
Fleet questions
Are spaces dedicated?
Yes. Each activated space is assigned to one fleet for the month. Registered vehicles in that fleet may rotate through it, one at a time.
How does dispatch use Park AV?
Dispatch uses the API to reserve a spot, report when the vehicle parks, and report when it leaves. These movement reports are required by the operator agreement.
How long does a reservation last?
A reservation holds the spot for 30 minutes. It expires automatically if the vehicle does not arrive.
Where are spaces located?
Properties can include apartments, hotels, retail centers, offices, mixed-use developments and commercial parking owners. The app shows available locations and access details.
Can we request a new area?
Yes. If no space is ready where you need one, submit the area in the network search. Park AV records that demand to guide property outreach.
What happens when a spot is unavailable?
Offline spots are hidden from fleets. A property can report an operational issue, and the status is reflected in the network.
How does pricing work?
The standard model is $99 per dedicated space each month, with registered vehicles rotating through it one at a time. Payment collection is not yet handled in the app.
