[Global Network Comprehensive Report] According to the British “Independent” report, a new survey shows that although there are technical means to find a location vehicle immediately, the average British car owner still spends an average of 35 million hours a year looking for parked cars.
British research company OnePoll surveyed 2,000 car owners. One-third of respondents often can’t find where they park their cars, and this happens on average every month. One out of every 20 owners has a car search every week.
Among them, female car owners tend to be more likely to happen than male car owners, and the proportion of such cases in women is as high as 72% (58% for men). On the other hand, the average time for women to find a vehicle is 8.8 minutes, compared with 11.9 minutes for a male driver. Respondents also mentioned that in some exceptional cases, they sometimes spend half an hour to locate a car. The most common places for “lost cars” include multi-storey car parks, shopping centers, supermarket parking lots, airports, towns, city streets, and concert venues. According to the survey results, there are more than 133 million “cars lost” in the UK each year.
Aaron Prasad, spokesperson for Nissan Motor Co., said, “The study shows that it is very common to forget where to park, but now the Internet of Vehicles and mobile apps can help drivers shorten their time to find a car.”
However, although there are technical means to prevent or reduce this, only a small number of owners use these methods to locate and locate lost vehicles. Of all respondents, only 9% said they use car and smartphone technology to locate cars.
