My truck has them (and they've saved a few compact cars in parking lots), I was giving you shit about knowing knowing what they're called. Why would they put a "back-up sensor" in the center of the front bumper?

On the minivan that's a hole for the front license plate bracket not a sensor.

Oh yeah. Not sure why they need those, but that hood is pretty long and you may not be able to see over the hood very well. I wouldn't want them on my front bumper.

yeah.. I'd... never had an issue knowing where the ends of my vehicle was...

be nice on a rental that you're not familiar with... but on my personal vehicle... I know how close I can get... and it's much closer than those sensors will allow before they go apeshit

They are an option on pretty much any luxury car over $50k now. Most of these cars have one piece plastic bumpers that tend to cost $1k+ to replace and can barely withstand a mouse fart. The general public also doesn't have the ability to not hit shit all the time. It still doesn't stop others from using your car as a bump stop when parallel parking.

The bumper on my Maxima is 1 piece and was about $600 to replace with no sensors in it and it isn't much more durable that that.
