Automatic car washers have the advantages of fast car washing speed and no damage to the surface of the car body. They can save labor and liberate labor for car wash shops. However, before washing the car, the existing car washers need to manually drive the car to the conveyor belt inside the car washer. When the driver gets off the car, it is easy to be blocked by some structures of the car washer, which is not very convenient and dangerous. Therefore, a full-time guard is still needed. At the same time, before washing the car, it is not easy to drive the car into the car wash to be washed and park it. It is easy to deviate during driving, and the owner cannot see the specific position of his wheels and cannot settle at a specific position; and the owner's car crashing into it is also easy to cause damage to the equipment conveyor line, which makes the owner feel risky and has a bad experience.
