In a straight line and able to stop when faced with obstacles
This remote parking technology allows park or unpark the car using a remote control and it is designed to be able to park in narrow spaces where it is not possible or difficult to open the doors to enter or exit the vehicle.
A wonderful medicine for small parking spaces that have not changed in size for decades, while cars have not stopped growing in size.
It only operates in a straight line and, previously, the driver must have aligned the Sorento in the space where they want to park. The RSPA autonomously controls the accelerator, brakes and steering, also relying on a series of ultrasonic sensors that monitor the environment.
Thanks to them, this remote parking system can detect possible obstacles, like other vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists, automatically braking in front of them to resume driving later.

Remember that the new Kia Sorento distinguishes itself from the outgoing SUV by taking a huge technological leap, including a wide range of driving assistance systems.
Among these, the parking assistant that avoids collisions when reversing stands out, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Reverse (PCA), as well as a system capable of detecting rear transverse impacts: Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist (RCCA).
In the case of the former, it is activated at speeds of up to 10 km / h and uses the rear camera and sensors to detect possible collisions. Both technologies warn when driving by an acoustic signal and act on the brakes automatically to avoid a collision.
