Re: Survey!#2 Need help with Senior engineering capstone project!

1. Do you drive a car?
Yes
2. Do you park in a garage?
Not regularly
3. How large is your vehicle?
Plymouth Neon (smallish car)


4. Have you ever had any problems parking
in a garage?
Yes
5. What kind of problems have you had?
I have a hard time watching both side mirrors and the front at the same time. Also, I sometimes would park...get out...and find that I wasn't up far enough. All this to get out and move forward more.
6. What causes those problems?
Lack of ability to see where I'm at in respect to the garage door properly. Also, the little bump I have to climb to get into the garage only allows me to enter with a certain amount of control over speed.
7. Have you done anything to prevent this from happening?
I usually just park outside. Nothing really technical, but it works. I have seen others use a suspended tennis ball technique to tell when they are in. I'm just too lazy to install such a thing. And I still would have to deal with mirrors.
