Smart way to save on car insurance deductible costs using VA



Adding on to the commercial use of video analytics in the automotive sector, Audi, the German automaker, recently launched a 360-degree Camera Assist Parking System. Previously launched by the competitor BMW, the technology enables the driver to follow the vehicle’s exterior movements through the dashboard video screen which projects a live top-down view of the vehicle. While the vehicle itself is projected as a ”dummy” image, the vicinity footage of the vehicle is fused together by four wide-angle cameras which are embedded in the front, the back and to the sides of the vehicle.

Although other safe-parking features—acoustic parking sensors and rear-camera parking— have been in the personal vehicles market for some time, the 360-degree Camera Assist Parking System is a revolutionary video analytics technology. The system can help reduce the risk of body vehicle damage during parking or when driving through narrow city terrains, which ultimately can reduce unpleasant insurance deductible costs.

The camera assistance is optional for for the 2013+ A8 and S8 models which belong to Audi’s largest sedan vehicle range with the least cockpit visibility.
