Too Afraid to Ask

Parking sensors are little gadgets on the front or back of your car that beep when something is too close, so you don’t bump into things while parking.

Technical Definition

Parking sensors are small devices mounted on a vehicle’s front or rear bumper that use ultrasonic waves to detect objects close to the car. They alert the driver with beeps or visual cues, helping avoid collisions while parking.
