Parking sensor: Difference between revisions

The electromagnetic parking sensor (EPS) was re-invented and patented in 1992 by Mauro Del Signore.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?FT=D&CC=IT&NR=1256863B|title=Electromagnetic Parking Sensor patent}} {{dl|date=October 2020}}</ref> Electromagnetic sensors rely on the vehicle moving slowly and smoothly towards the object to be avoided. Once detected, thean obstacle, ifis the vehicle momentarily stops on its approachdetected, the sensor continues to give signal ofthe presence of the obstacle even if the vehicle momentarily stops. If the vehicle then resumes its manoeuvre the alarm signal becomes more and more impressive as the obstacle approaches. Electromagnetic parking sensors are often sold as not requiring any holes to be drilled offering a unique design that discreetly mounts on the inner side of the bumper preserving the 'new factory look' of your vehicle. Now they also come equipped with a camera to go with the sensor. By 2018 the US is requiring back up camera with sensors on all cars.
