PARKING beepers, reverse cameras and good old-fashioned mirrors just don't cut it with some drivers anymore.

Which is why manufacturers like Toyota and Volkswagen have made self-parking cars.

Nissan Motor, on the other hand, has come out with the world's first Around View Monitor. Making use of a series of ultra wide-angle cameras, the system offers the driver a bird's eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings. Scheduled for launch in December, it will be fitted on bigger models, like the Elgrand and new Infiniti EX35.
