Owning a car takes a lot of responsibility. First, you need to be a careful driver, especially on roads with heavy traffic and numerous pedestrians. And it doesn’t just stop there; even parking requires much practice and attentiveness. Luckily, you can install accessories such as parking sensors and dashboard cameras to keep you safe at all times.

The importance of using parking sensors

Did you know that some people find parking harder than driving itself? You may have heard some horror stories about drivers trying to parallel park in a tight space. In fact, 34% agree that parallel parking is the most challenging technique.

It’s so tricky that most drivers avoid parallel parking altogether. But in a heavily populated country like the Philippines, time will eventually come for you to parallel park because you can’t find any other parking space available. And the only way to make things is easier is by using a parking sensor.

Sensors help you detect objects outside of your vision. This way, you can get rid of blind spots and avoid crashing into obstacles as you park. By avoiding collisions, you avoid hefty fines, dangerous accidents, and unwanted run-ins with the law. Not only do you save time, but you can save money as well!

A guide to choosing the right parking sensor for your car

Two types of sensors dominate the market: ultrasonic and electromagnetic.

  1. Ultrasonic sensors

These sensors use high-frequency sound waves to detect objects. In addition, they are connected toan alarm system that alerts the driver whenever an obstacle comes near the vehicle.

  1. Electromagnetic sensors

These sensors use electromagnetic frequencies to detect objects. As a result, they are more sensitive than the previous sensor, calling the driver’s attention to more obstacles.

Most electromagnetic sensors come with a built-in camera to help drivers see blind spots around their vehicles.

It’s best to understand there are some limitations to what a parking sensor can do, such as detecting objects that are too thin or failing to alert you when the car is too dirty. However, the advantages outweigh any drawbacks you might experience after installing a sensor.

Because of this, make sure to buy the highest quality sensor you can find on the market. You can opt for devices with cameras, buzzers, or visual indicators, depending on what works best for you
