A self-deploying and self-retracting automobile cover system. The system including an actuator mechanism, a housing unit and a cover. The actuator mechanism controls the operation of the cover, wherein the actuator mechanism triggers the automatic deployment of the cover such that the cover expands outward from the housing unit and triggers the automatic retraction of the cover such that the cover collapses into the housing unit. The housing unit includes a mounting element for mounting the cover to the housing unit and it includes an enclosure for storing the cover in a retracted position. The cover contains a pair of coverlets, each coverlet includes a shield member and a frame. The shield member is encompassed within the frame and includes a plurality of sectioned regions. The frame has a collapsible structure and includes a plurality of arm frame members, a plurality of joints, and a spinal frame member. The plurality of arm frame members are each connected to the shield member along a distal peripheral edge and bottom region of the shield member and the plurality of joints are each used to connect adjoining arm frame members. The spinal frame member includes a plurality of collapsible sections which are interconnected by joints. The spinal frame member is connected to the shield member along a proximate edge of the shield member and is fixedly attached at its tip region to the mounting element in the housing unit. Upon deployment, the deployed cover is configurable to operate as a touchless cover such that each shield member of the pair of coverlets is void of any physical contact with the automobile or is configurable to operate as a touch cover such that each shield member of the pair of coverlets is in physical contact with the automobile.
