There are various sensors and cameras on the
vehicle which detect and monitor the area
around the vehicle by means of ultrasound,
radar waves and optical systems. The various
parking systems use different combinations
of the sensors. Common to all sensors is the
fact that they are subject to technical and
physical limits → .
