Disneyland Testing Cars Robots As Parking Lot Assistants

A cute little orange robot with a yellow safety vest that looks like a “Cars” character could soon wave you into a parking spot using glowing traffic control wands at Disneyland’s Pixar Pals garage.

Disneyland is training AI-powered autonomous robots to help you park your car when you arrive at the Anaheim theme park, according to CNET.

The robotic “Cars” parking aides were showcased during the Disney Accelerator Demo Day event on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.

Disney has developed robotic parking assistants that look like Pixar characters from the 2006 “Cars” and 2008 “Wall-E” animated films, according to a 30-minute video shown during the Disney Accelerator event.

“Imagine if a character from Cars or robots from Wall-E direct you where to park when you arrive,” Disney Experiences Senior Vice President Gary Daniels said in the video. “The work we are doing now is a great way to see how the robots function and, as important, how people respond.”

Disneyland has no current plans to launch the technology demonstrated during the Disney Accelerator Demo Day event, according to Disneyland officials.

The “Cars” parking aide robot experiment through the Disney Accelerator program was an opportunity to learn what’s possible with emerging technology that could support the guest experience, according to Disneyland officials.

Walt Disney Imagineering has been working with Irvine-based engineering company FieldAI to develop the Disneyland parking lot robots.

FieldAI has experience deploying robots in demanding, unstructured environments with uneven terrain, changing layouts and unexpected obstacles, according to Imagineering R&D Lab Director Doug Fidaleo.

“That’s what drew us to FieldAI,” Fidaleo said in the video. “The park of the future will be teeming with robot characters.”

FieldAI worked with Imagineering on the BD-1 droids that make appearances in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland.
