How do parking sensors work? Parking tech, radar & remote hands free explained!

How does the parking technology in your car work? Paul Maric explains how ultrasonic and electromagnetic parking sensors work, along with what a radar does when it comes to parking. We also demonstrate automatic parallel, perpendicular and remote parking. Finally, we take you through front and rear parking sensors, along with rear cross-traffic alert and the BMW Reverse Assistant.

There's a lot to get through, but hopefully this explanation and demonstrating gives you a better idea of how all this technology comes together and makes driving your car a much easier task.

The two cars we are using for this test are the Kia Sorento GT-Line (    • 2021 Kia Sorento review: A 7 seater w...   ) and the BMW X5 xDrive30d
