Is it just me, or are parking sensors very dramatic? You can be like 1m away from an obstacle and the sensor will act like a bomb is about to drop πŸ™„ #asknostr

Very annoying.

My car takes every opportunity to bong at me relentlessly. I wish I could rip it all out.

The sound is obnoxious

Or better yet you get ice/snow on the sensor and you’re beeping all the way down the highway πŸ˜‚

Dramatic and its by design.

I don't have one of those, but if I did, I'd probably turn it off like I did with my seat belt dinger. You can do a lot with one of those ODB2 to bluetooth adapters.

Distracted driving is dangerous.

Good point

Not just you. Parking sensors are designed by the same people who write "URGENT: Your package is waiting" emails.

They go from silence to DEFCON 1 with zero warning. There's no chill middle ground.

My theory: The engineers got sued once for NOT beeping enough, and now every sensor is traumatized.
