Parking management apparatus, method for controlling parking management apparatus, and storage medium

This invention describes a system that helps manage vehicle exits from a parking lot. A user reserves a time for their car to leave, and the system also tracks the user's journey to the parking lot via public transport or a ride-share service. Based on the estimated arrival time of that transport, the system can adjust the car's exit reservation and then instruct the user's vehicle to autonomously drive from its parking spot to a designated pick-up area.

Why it matters: Since 2020, autonomous vehicle technology for controlled environments like parking lots has advanced significantly, making the "autonomously travel" aspect more feasible. Concurrently, real-time public transport and ride-share data integration has become more robust, simplifying dynamic scheduling adjustments.
