    Pah! Proves nothing. There's a bloke under the dash with periscope ;)

    I notice the system puts the ownus on the driver to "Watch For Hazzards!".

    Presumably when the system lets the car park without the driver and it reverses over a child you would still get done for driving without due care and attention.

    Interesting project

    The only viable option (for reasons such as mentioned by mike65) is the second option though imho

    I'm pretty ok on parallel parking but admit that finding and correctly assessing a 5.50 meter gap to park my 5.00 meter car in and then succesfully and fluently reversing into it in one go doesn't always work out :)

    I would expect this to be an option on upmarket cars, if not mainstream, within the next 3-5 years

    Ah well, it is a final year project... I'm sure if it was going into production they'd fit a few more sensors on it to pick up straying pedestrians.:)

    The sensors would be in place already, just a matter of adjusting the software methinks - still a bit dogy if the driver is not in control of the vehicle and the implications mike65 is suggesting

    My barge has parking sensors front and back and they even bleep when a cat is within 2 feet of the vehicle when I reverse out of the drive in the morning :)
