"Electromagnetic" devices
I've heard about parking sensors using an "Electromagnetic" field (not sure if they mean electric or magnetic, should be magnetic, I guess), shouldn't they be in this article?

I use wireless parking sensors on my caravan as its not possible to use the wired versions. The parking sensor heads are embedded in the rear bumper of my caravan. They connect to a transmitters box which is powered from my reversing light cluster. When i select reverse gear the automatically power up and transmit the telemetry info through to the LCD display on my cars dash board. Of course the display has to be powered as well, in my case straight from my cigarette lighter socket.

I brought this item after my wife and i scratched, dented and smashed the rear light cluster, bumper and side skirting. They have been the best investment and i recomend them to anyone who has a large vehicle may it be a motorhome, horsebox or boat trailer thats needs manovering. They are very easy to install and can hardley be noticed as they are colour coded.

Some people have concerns about the transmiting distance- ours work at 10 meters plus which is plenty for most vehicles. Wirelessparkingsensors (talk) 05:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Beeping whilst reversing
In the article it states, "After patenting the device in 1983 Heyes offered it to Jaguar Cars in Coventry. After test driving the prototype on Heyes's car they very politely told him that, 'You like it because you are a one eyed driver who cannot judge distances. Real people would not want a thing like this.'" Well Jaguar were absolutely right. Real people do not want a thing like this. Nor do they want reversing cameras. Nor do they want things that go beep beep beep when they reverse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.114.44.178 (talk) 13:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Tony Heyse and his ReverseAid
I've removed all this content. We need some reliable, independent sources for this material. As was, all we had was claims added by user:Heyes tony who apparently is Tony Heyse, sourced to nothing but his personal webpage. There are sites out there that repeat these claims, but they may well be based on Wikipedia or the personal website. Meters (talk) 05:55, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
