parking assist 
If you drive a Mini Cooper, you don't need electronic parking assist to beep with urgency just before that ugly bumper encounter.

Some new systems even display a graphic of the vehicle and a suggested steering direction for the truly parking-impaired, while others add a video cam with a wide-angle rear view.
