Automotive Parking Damage Detector immediately notifies the driver when a collision involving the parked vehicle has been detected, when the anti-theft warning system has been triggered, or when the car is towed away.
If a collision is detected when the tow-away alarm is armed on a locked vehicle, the driver will receive a notification in the multimedia system when the driver switches on the ignition
The Global Automotive Parking Damage Detector market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Mercedes app will tell you if your car is damaged or stolen – A clever bump-and-theft detection system, an extension of the brand’s Mercedes me app, will pair with the car’s array of on-board sensors to detect if someone bumps into your parked car. The system then sends an alert to your phone, telling the exactly when, and where on the car, the hit occurred.
It’s already in use in Europe, but Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed it will introduce the system locally in quarter two next year, as part of a wider ‘Me Connect’ rollout.It’s aimed largely at multi-storey carparks, with the idea being that owners can then request the CCTV footage for the exact moment of the impact, rather than trawling through hours of footage.
The softest of knocks likely won’t register, but while trialling the technology, we bumped a Smart Fortwo into a C-Class far too gently to leave any kind of mark, and the system registered the collision.
The alert is sent via an on-board SIM card, but even if there is no reception, the car’s infotainment screen will pop-up an alert with the same information as soon as you start the car.
The system will also tell if someone reaches into the cabin of the parked car, or if someone is trying to two your vehicle. Perhaps most clever, though, is the ability to track your car (like the Find My iPhone function), so if driver is alerted to the car being towed or stolen, you can track its exact location.
