Hey Product Hunt π I'm Laan, CEO of AutoDock AI.
Why we built this: Indian cities are short on two things at once: parking space and EV charging. Every new EV needs a place to park and a place to charge, and in a dense city both have to come out of the same small patch of land. We think they should be one piece of infrastructure, not two.
What it does: park β charge β settle
π ΏοΈ Park: a robotic rotary tower stacks cars vertically, so it holds about 10Γ the cars of a surface lot on the same footprint
β‘ Charge: every bay has its own AC fast charger, up to 21 kW, so a car charges while it's parked
π³ Settle: billing happens on its own through FASTag or UPI. There's no attendant and no app to download
Who builds it: the towers are made by our manufacturing partner, Shandong Jiuroad Intelligent Technology. They have 25+ years in infrastructure engineering, 3,000+ projects, 200+ core patents and customers in 60+ nations. AutoDock holds exclusive rights in India to distribute, deploy and do R&D on this technology. We're starting in Indian cities.
Where we're headed: robotaxis and autonomous fleets will need places that can park them, charge them and bill for it with no human involved. Our towers are the first piece of that physical layer.
Feedback that would help most:
1. If you run a parking lot, mall, commercial building or EV fleet: what would stop you from hosting a tower?
2. If you're an investor or a hardware person: what proof would you want to see before you believe it?
3. If you drive an EV in an Indian city: where do you wish one of these existed?
