Proton cars to get integrated smart parking system – find and pay parking through app on Atlas head unit

HeiTech Padu and its joint venture partner, ACO Tech, have signed a memorandum of collaboration (MoC), which will see both companies work together to integrate the Penang Smart Parking system into infotainment head units found in Proton cars.

“The Smart Parking Solutions is an advanced parking management platform that utilises state-of-the-art technologies such as sensors, mobile apps and cloud computing to provide real-time information on parking availability, location and pricing,” said Datuk Seri Mohd Hilmey Mohd Taib, president and executive deputy chairman of HeiTech.

“Hence, this proves our commitment in improving Malaysian drivers’ quality of life via cutting-edge solutions for their everyday challenges. We are confident that the integration of the Penang Smart Parking system into Proton cars will be a game-changer for the automotive industry in Malaysia,” he added.

When it is rolled out, the system will allow drivers to save time by having their in-car head unit (IHU) guide them to the nearest available parking facility. They will also be able to pay for parking digitally through the IHU without having to use their mobile phone.

HeiTech’s Smart Parking Solutions is the first parking system integration of its kind in Malaysia and has already been successfully implemented in Penang and Kulim, Kedah. The company also has smart solutions that provide local councils with tools to better manage tax and rental collection, effective and efficient communication channels, reduced over-the-counter services operations, enhanced delivery of bills and statements as well as promote tourist attractions.

        >national car brand is rebadged chinese car
        >Huawei, a known Chinese spyware company is openly sold in msia with no limits

        so if the CCP does it is OK la

        so tired of brainless msian “West bad East good” mentality, cannot even admit its because of religious reasons and fear of progressive politics

  • Atlas is not 'at last'..... on May 22, 2023 at 2:05 pm

    The Atlas software leaves much to be desired. It lags and is slow to respond. Maybe most affected were the earlier batch of x50s. So far have not even try using the navigation function. Proton should consider upgrading the older x50 for the newer head units with higher memory. The OTA function is also “meh” only….. very slow and cannot really load properly.

  • Listening to your conversation all the way.

    Yes, Western systems do listen to customize advertisements to lure you buying their product but they are not spying you and spreading communism ideology and propaganda.

    Why they ditch good stock ICE brands like Blaupunkt and replaced with ching chong branded ICE. And we know that the stock speakers in X70 is not actual speaker from Kenwood. Atlas OS is a joke.
