GB2385570A - An arrangement for assisting parking - Google Patents

Abstract

A vehicle has sensors, at the front and back on each side, to aid parking. The sensors are connected to a computer and/or audio or video means to give instruction to the driver regarding which way to turn the steering wheel as the steering manoeuvre progresses and to prevent the vehicle getting too near stationary objects. The sensors are in the form of "eyes" within ball-shaped adjustable bodies.
