………….
Got to admit, in these days of larger vehicles with smaller windows, I am grateful for front and rear parking sensors. I've never driven a car with a reverse view camera, and I don't think I'd find any use for it.
As for the ones that actually park themselves, no way.
The 360 cameras are good, so are front bumper side cameras.
The 360 allows you to see all around and the bumper side cameras are great for seeing out of hedge lined junctions. It’s like having a pair of eyes five feet ahead of your own eyes.
Self parking is a gimmick. Mine does both bay and parallel self park, I used it once on each space and have never used it since.
To parallel park, tap the screen, slow down and indicate left for a space on the left and right for a space on the right. The car searches for a space big enough and when found it beeps. You stop, accept the space and the car does the rest hands and foot free.
Sounds easy doesn’t it.
However there is a massive glitch in their thinking that the handbook forgets to tell you. The vehicle uses radars/sensors to position the vehicle so, on a parallel park, the vehicle uses the vehicle in front and behind as a guide, which means that if the vehicle in front and behind have two wheels on the kerb, you’re vehicle will end up with two wheels on the kerb ….. and kerbed alloys.
They don’t show you that on YouTube demos do they.
