High-Tech Parking Aid

High-Tech Parking Aid SECURITY/SAFETY Alarms 23-3-40 If you've got someone in your family who has trouble getting parked properly in the garage, you might want to look at this new high-tech parking aid. The Park-Zone electronic warning device is designed to make parking foolproof, even in tight quarters. The company notes that even a small scratch or dent on a vehicle can cost hundreds of dollars to repair. It works like a space-age traffic light. As you enter the garage, the green light comes on. About midway through the garage, a yellow light cautions the driver to approach slowly. When the red light comes on, the driver stops. The "brains" of the device is an ultra-sonic sensor made by Polaroid that bounces sound waves off surfaces. It can by quickly calibrated to the correct parking distance. Runs on four AA batteries that last about a year, or you can spend $20 extra for an AC powered unit. Sells for $59.95.
