Orange Expands "Smart Parking" Effort

Orange has teamed up with Streetline, a U.S.-based company that provides smart parking solutions, to develop a set of connected services embedded in the vehicle or dedicated to drivers. 

With 1,300,000 regulated parking places in France, the smart parking market is very promising," said Nathalie Leboucher, Head of the Smart Cities Programme at Orange.

Parks Associates projects that by 2017, 17.6 million consumers will subscribe to embedded connected vehicle services such as General Motors’ OnStar and Chrysler’s UConnect Access.

The international research firm predicts 47 percent of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. will have embedded mobile communications by 2017.
