Autonomous parking monitor

A computing system for providing information associated with a parking space, the system comprising:

• a communication unit configured to receive parking information from a self-propelled autonomous data machine, wherein the autonomous data machine (1) comprises one or more sensors, (2) navigates within a multi-level parking structure comprising the parking space for a vehicle, and (3) obtains, via the one or more sensors, the parking information pertaining to the parking space, the parking information comprising at least one of the following:
• location of the parking space, size of the parking space, type or layout of the parking space, images of the parking space, the time when the parking space information was collected, and occupancy information for the parking space;
• and
• a display configured to show the parking information to a user.

An autonomous data machine for collecting information associated with a parking space, the autonomous data machine comprising:

• one or more propulsion systems configured to navigate the autonomous data machine between floors within a multi-level parking structure comprising the parking space;
• one or more sensors configured to obtain parking information pertaining to the parking space, the parking information comprising at least one of the following:
• location of the parking space, size of the parking space, type or layout of the parking space, images of the parking space, the time when the parking space information was collected, and occupancy information for the parking space;
• and
• a communication unit configured to transmit the parking information to a remote computing system.
