If you find parking a struggle then the Huawei AITO M9 luxury smart SUV automatic valet will save you a lot of stress and scratches.
The brand’s flagship electric vehicle is made by Seres in collaboration with Huawei’s Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance, or HIMA.
Inside, the Huawei HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit features the AI-powered Advanced Driver Assistance System, shortened to ADAS, 3.0.
The ground-breaking tech allows you to sit back while the car parks for you, but sadly, the $75,000 vehicles aren’t sold in America.

AITO M9 automatic valet parking
The technology is made up of a Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR, system.
It combines three wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and a handful of cameras.
The innovative system ensures safe parking even with no one behind the wheel of the car.
It’s the perfect tool for tight spaces in parking lots or on busy streets.
Simply pick a spot, tap the ‘Auto Park’ button, and let the EV do the rest.
You don’t need a phone and it will even lock itself automatically and close the windows.
So you can just walk away knowing it will be perfectly centered and secured in the space.
Luxury SUV
With convenience and driving experience key, the automatic valet system positions the AITO M9 firmly in the luxury smart vehicle market.
The SUV was launched on December 26, 2023, in China, and packs 496HP under the hood, with a range of 750 miles.
The Chinese smart SUV is often compared to the Mercedes-Maybach GLS.
Allowing parking without a driver means it definitely competes with Mercedes’ Active Parking Assist.
In July 2024, the AITO M9 earned a record-breaking 93.9 percent rating in the C-NCAP Chinese car safety assessment rating.
Owners of the car are so confident in its abilities that they’ve even been seen stepping out of the cabin to watch it in action.
We can’t wait til we’ve all got cars that park themselves!
