System SmartRim protect wheels and tires from damage when Parking
Many modern vehicles are equipped with Parking sensors that help protect the front and rear of the vehicle from damage during maneuvering in a Parking lot or when driving at low speeds. Project participants SmartRim propose to Supplement traditional sensors additional sensors, warning about possible damage to the side members of the machine.
The idea is to accommodate the wheel housings special ultrasonic modules. They can be fixed, for example, on the fender with glue and clamps. These sensors allow to detect obstacles like curbs from a short distance.
The signal is wirelessly transmitted to a special mobile application on your smartphone or tablet in the car. Critical closer to the object the driver receives a visual and audible warning. Thus, you can avoid damaging your expensive wheels, tires and low-lying parts of the body, in particular thresholds.
Each of the modules SmartRim powered by standard AA batteries, a charge which, allegedly, enough for more than 1000 of Parking cycles. Products are protected from water, dust and dirt; they are not afraid of vibration, vibrations and temperature changes.
Start of delivery of new items the developers intend the end of the year: price of the kit should not exceed $500. But how popular this decision will be at the market — question.
As it is not well around the sensor obecause no protection in winter, in spring they will not be good(
But in General the idea is good) current expensive.
I regular PDC enough. the long-length can still assume that the corner to come down, but the camera is more reliable. this is crap. before and Parktronic was not. never drive didn't hurt anything
well from experience I also have(from driving bilasipara to 35тонного case) but when you hand over Jo...in the dark and Isho if mirrors rain-drenched...
maybe I even do not understand))) but I always know where I'm going with the wheels)))) there is such a thing as experience))) it's priceless. and it's not for the money to buy((((( and the Nokia 3310 with him as not to do so)))
Will not go for sure. Expensive too.
And it will be in the dirtiest places, in consequence of which will be false positives. Have to run to wipe before Parking.
Yes, and probably easier to put the camera in the mirror, much better.
The first half year of service he suffered from this disease, covers all the ground was, from all sides. And it is a little something Matiz. Bought prioru to the cabin, casting at her, and the disease abruptly went.
the idea is good, since I myself suffer from phobia to touch the curb with the wheel, but at the same time want to Park close to the same borders
The idea as such, very interesting. 500$ ?I better discs to buy 2 sets. Willing to give for it no more than 5tysyach rubles.
I think at desire it is possible to alter the power so that worked from the battery through all sorts of regulators and all such things, the main thing that the hands grow from where it is necessary :-)
The product is interesting, but was immediately confused by the phrase...runs on AA batteries...when our winter temperatures the batteries will not live long...total — not effective work + zamechanie snow wheel arches inevitable...IMHO...
I think the device will find its buyer. But it will be people of a very different prosperity :)
The thing interesting. About the temperature in our area have said.
A buyer will find the goods, but definitely worth to Refine and implement them, for example, in bumper\wings of arches, and from the mud to defend.
if you want to pay! such a thing you can collect about$ 100 and even cheaper! Who knows at least a little bit in programming. Prado if you write the app for Android! And will be much more interesting and not on batteries
too a lot of crap-dirt, batteries, open the attached,500$...
The idea of fun, to do something test, but the commercial potential is = 0.
Potential buyer-the owner of a branded car, expensive drives, usually in the car already programmed lowering the right mirror when reverse gear is engaged, so-this little-program the left mirror to the same operation and happiness to you-in reverse gear, the mirror fell and you can see the curb.
Expensive. Collect such electronic waste, and microwave sensors, well, Yes and no application on the phone, will cost the same amount, but in rubles.
