What are Parking Sensors?

This system is made up of ultrasonic or electromagnetic sensors on the front and rear bumpers which can detect when the vehicle is in close proximity to another vehicle or object and will give you an audible and visual warning (or in some cases a physical input) as a warning. Some vehicles have this technology all around the car to sense if the sides of the vehicle are also in close proximity to an object that you may not be able to see in your mirrors. Rear parking cameras are also now commonly fitted as standard or as an option with parking packs to aid the driver when parking. No more avoiding those parallel parking spots!
