Questions about Parking Assistance Device
1. How does the prediction unit determine the likelihood of a collision?
The prediction unit uses sensors to measure the distance to obstacles and calculates the probability of a collision based on the vehicle's trajectory.
2. What types of notifications does the notification unit provide?
The notification unit can alert occupants through visual or auditory signals when the vehicle is predicted to get too close to an obstacle.
Original Abstract Submitted
A parking assistance device, comprising: a prediction unit for predicting whether or not a distance to an obstacle around the vehicle becomes less than or equal to a reference distance while the vehicle is automatically parked; and a notification unit for performing a notification indicating that a distance to the obstacle may be close during parking to an occupant, when the distance to the obstacle is predicted to be equal to or less than the reference distance.
