Thrive is a multimodal system that helps drivers locate available parking more efficiently. Everyone has their own parking horror stories. Whether it was spending way too much time looking for a space or having no idea where you can park.

With the use of smart sensors on all parking spaces it feeds parking information into a driver's car directly. This information is then received by Thrive's head-up display(HUD) interface. Thrive's HUD consists of navigation and parking information that help guide the driver to available parking. This multimodal system allows the driver to stay focused on the road with the HUD while also using voice commands to interact with the interface safely.

Thrive aims to alleviate the stress of cruising for parking. More importantly the idea is to help drivers spend less time looking for parking and more time enjoying the things they want to do. Park easier. Live better.
