Driving a car, under normal conditions, is not necessarily hard, as it requires a bit of concentration, anticipation, skill and some experience. Parking, however, is akin to an art form, as it requires very precise movements, calculations and good awareness of the size of the car and the obstacles surrounding it.
This is why most cars now come with parking sensors, while most bigger cars get them as standard, because, let’s face it, there are a lot of people out there who simply can’t do it correctly. Self parking is the latest ‘craze’, if you will, but it feels unnatural and contrived, and it’s not a system you’d want your friends knowing that you used.
However, there is now ‘a third way’, in the form of the disappearing back seat. It uses rear view cameras mounted somewhere on the back of the car, which are linked to a projector, inside the car. The image is then projected onto a rear-facing mirrors, which reflects/projects the video feed onto the back seat, made out of a special material (recursive reflector) which acts like a screen, allowing the driver to see ‘through’ the car - a truly great idea.
