Patent Problem Question Urgent Help needed

RapidRoamer

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this question as it came up in a class seminar but unfortunately I missed it.

I am stuck on the point regarding was the suspension system made available to the public or the garage or both

Aldos Motor Company Limited manufactures luxury cars. It has developed a
suspension system for cars which facilitates parallel parking by rotating the
wheels of the car until they are perpendicular to the car. This enables the car
to move in and out of parking spaces that are only slightly longer than the car.
The new system has been fitted to ten cars manufactured by Aldos Motor
Company Limited and those cars have been loaned to directors of the
company for a trial period of one month. Each of the cars has been driven
around the city of Dublin and on at least 40 occasions the new system has
been used so as to enable the car in question to park on a city street. One of
the directors let her son use one of the cars over the course of a weekend when
it was damaged in a minor accident. No damage to the suspension was
suffered in this accident. The son left the car into a local garage where it
stayed for two days so that repairs could be effected to the car’s bodywork.
Aldos Motor Company Limited now wishes to apply for a patent in respect of
the suspension system and seeks your advice.

Any help would be much appreciated

There was no offer to the public. No member of the public was given the opportunity to use the car at any time.

The director made it available to his son for his own private use. The garage had access to the car purely for the purposes of repairing the bodywork. Any access to the system was ancillary to that.
