> What? A proximity sensor that requires you to look at a separate display to see if it's fired? (Or was this projected onto the windscreen?)

The car had 6 such sensors ({front, back} x {left, center, right}), while the beeping would increase AND its position was simulated by the car's stereo system, the car also had a large screen display (one such 'head unit') which also displayed the car and each (of possibly many) beeping sensors.

I found checking the screen easier than relying on the stereo direction to know which was the triggered sensor.
