\"shut_up_and_take_my_money\"<\/a>Ideal for anyone that lives in a large city with primarily street parking, the FenSens<\/a> wireless parking sensor is a\u00a0license plate frame that works with your smartphone to alert you\u00a0to\u00a0the distance to another car behind you.<\/p>\n

Installed identically to a standard\u00a0license plate frame, you simply pair your smartphone to the plate as well as download the accompanying mobile app on your iOS or Android phone.<\/p>\n

When you are backing into a parking space, the app will offer feedback in the form of audio beeps and vibration feedback as well as a visual display. The closer you get to an object behind the car, the faster the beeps will play on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

According to the creator, the battery will last approximately five months before needing to be recharged. The plate detects objects within 10 feet away and beeps to guide you within 1 foot of another vehicle or another\u00a0obstacle.<\/p>\n

The MSRP of the\u00a0FenSens will eventually be $150, but early backers\u00a0can pick up the plate for a $100 price point. While that may sound expensive for a smart\u00a0license plate frame, purchasing that upgrade from a dealer when buying a car can cost between\u00a0$500 to $2,000. Of course, you will have to pair the mobile device for each driver of the vehicle rather than having it integrated into the car’s dashboard.<\/p>\n
