Sonic Parking Update…

I found an interesting article published in the Herald Sun Cars Guide on Friday, July 28, 2006. The article titled “Boss can spy on Holdens” details the electronic features that will be available in new VE Commodore, of particular interest was Holdens new parking assist system. The article describes the system as, “This (system) shows layered buffer zones at the front and rear of the car that light up as the edge of the car approaches an object.”

Does this remind anyone of “Sonic Parking” my final year project developed in 2004!?! Did LTU sell my project to Holden??? Have I been robbed?...

I consider this proof that Sonic Parking was at least two years ahead of its time!!!
