What is Parking Assist?
2 Answers
Parking assist system is an ultrasonic sensor embedded in the front and rear bumpers, with each sensor having a diameter of approximately 15mm. Here is an introduction to parking assist: 1. The ultrasonic detection signal emitted by the sensor will reflect when it hits an obstacle. After receiving the reflected signal, the sensor will promptly feed it back to the system for distance calculation, and remind the driver of the distance between the vehicle and obstacles outside the field of vision through sound, video, etc. 2. All vehicles need to be equipped with a parking assist system. Normally, when reversing, parking, or shifting the vehicle, the gap between the front and rear vehicles needs to be calculated accurately in centimeters, which cannot be estimated by the driver's vision alone. The parking assist system can detect obstacles outside the field of vision and inform the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle through certain signals.
When I first got my driver's license, parking was a nightmare, especially when reversing—I was always afraid of hitting something. The parking assist is like a smart little helper in the car. It uses radar or cameras to detect the distance around the vehicle and beeps or displays a warning on the screen when an object gets too close. The first time I used it was at a shopping mall, where it helped me avoid the embarrassment of scraping a corner. This system can measure parking space sizes, and some advanced models can even automatically steer the wheel to help you park, turning a stressful task into a breeze. It reduces blind spot issues and improves safety. For beginners, this feature is practically a must-have—I rely on it every time I park now, saving me a lot of the anxiety I had while practicing.
