Abstract

A device is described for providing state information of an automatic valet parking system. The device includes at least one off-board infrastructure component, which is located, in particular fixedly disposed within a parking area assigned to the automatic valet parking system. The infrastructure component is adapted for outputting state information of the automatic valet parking system. Thus, pieces of state information of the automatic valet parking system can be efficiently communicated.
