Our take
Driven by computer vision and AI technology, Metropolis offers a seamless parking and checkout experience by turning cars into wallets. This eliminates the need for physical tickets and pay machines, allowing property owners to maximise the financial performance of their parking assets and offer a modern service to customers.
Metropolis aims to revolutionise parking by integrating future mobility solutions, such as autonomous vehicle deployment, charging stations, and eVTOL infrastructure. Its approach includes dynamic pricing to optimise revenue during demand surges.
Co-founded by Alex Israel, a former ParkMe founder, the company has expanded rapidly following a $167M Series B fundraise and partnerships with Premier Parking and Uber. The company's recent acquisition of SP Plus Corporation, funded by a $1.8 billion investment, positions it as a leader in AI-driven mobility solutions. As a pioneer in its category, Metropolis continues to push the boundaries of parking and mobility technology.
