Bosch president Rolf Nicodemus commented: “Many cars already have parkeerhulpfuncties, which means that they are equipped with ultrasonic sensors. If such a car voorbijrijdt, identify the sensors in the free spaces between the parked cars along the way. Because more and more cars are online, this information is extremely rapidly to a database to be passed. The more cars to this system to participate in, the more detailed and up-to-date the map is.”

It is not known yet whether in the short term, all parking spaces with sensors. It seems to us more a proefballonnetje from Bosch, but it can be a useful addition for your current navi. Not to mention about the added value that this has for self-propelled cars. To the extent that WEIGHT (Autoblog Future), back to reality.
