Default Front and rear video for curbs

Anyone have a front/rear vid cam setup? The park assist can't see low enough to get the curb and I'm thinking I might smash one someday

I don't get it but my park assist comes on for these parking lot curbs both front and rear. Maybe the curbs are just bigger in upstate NY! Only kidding.

actually wouldn't they be smaller in NY if the curb assist is missing them?

I wonder if there's a config on the park assist to point down more?

I guess maybe I could get these:

I'd love to have one of those cars! In any event, prompted by your comments I did some reading about park assist which says you are definitely correct, i.e., it doesn't come on for these curbs. Unfortunately, mine keeps coming on. When the screen lights up I have been ignoring it in search of a better place to park. Perhaps, park assist is detecting the curb stone as I approach it but maybe it loses it as I close in. I don't know because I never pay any attention to it. Bottom line: you have to be correct. I need to pay closer attention the next time I am in a parking lot to see what is really happening.

Agreed - I'm really fearful of crushing my front spoiler - I've had a few close calls, within an inch or so. It's very hard to judge the front...

A Veyron from Saudi Arabia turned up at CarsNCoffee last week. It had a guy who watched the front and a guy who watched the back when the driver parked. If you have to ask....
