NU Idea - Talking ackup sensors with distance indicators

Hi Sir

NU Idea
Backup Sensors

Today, there are a lot of automobiles out on the street.  This results in heavy traffic everyday everywhere you go.  Of course there would also be accidents from one vehicle hitting another vehicle, sideswiping, a vehicle hitting a structure, or worse a vehicle hitting a pedestrian.  What I cannot accept are those vehicular accidents that are considered as non-driving accidents.  These are accidents that can happen at home in your garage, or in the parking lot of the mall.  You might be asking how such accidents can happen.

Usually, it is lady drivers who are having difficulty in parking their cars.  They do not park well (overlapping the 2 lines) or it takes them forever just to extract their vehicle from the parking slot resulting in them hitting a wall or another car.

My suggestion for this would be installing a backup sensor for your vehicle.  These sensors would beep whenever you are about to back into a solid structure like a wall or another car.  Some car manufacturers already have these but not all and they do not have the type where you actually see the rearview on a screen complete with distance from the wall and voice prompt.  Here's how it works.

Imagine you're going to the mall and the only parking space available is one that requires you to park parallel between 2 other cars.  This is the type of parking most people have difficulty with.  Some take forever just to fit their car in the slot.  With the backup sensor, you would be able to not only properly park your car but there will be a voice prompt and a screen that would show you how far you are from the car behind you.  It gives voice prompts like "1.8 meter", "0.5 meter" which gives you a clear idea on the distance of the car behind you.  Aside from that you also have a color coding on the screen (green if the other car is more than 2 meters behind, yellow if it is within 1 meter and red if it is less than 1 meter behind).

This would help reduce parking accidents as well as make parking more convenient for all motorists.  Installation is also fast and easy. 3

Thank you
