I guess this is a few questions in one - mostly centered around if birds eye view is usable as a parking assist in a garage scenario.
So... first off - is it? And how accurate/reliable does it seem to be? I'm gonna need to put things within about 3-4 inches in every direction to fit an R1S in my garage.
Next - If it is usable in a garage/tight spaces does it still work if the mirrors are folded? I almost certainly will need them to be folded to fit into my garage and I know there are some cameras on the mirrors but I don't know if they remain fixed when the mirrors fold or if they end up rotating with the mirrors and hence possibly making birds eye view not available.
I'm worried about the repeatability of parking this thing becoming a real nuisance without some kind of aid(s) in place (I'm probably going to tape out or paint some lines of where it needs to be and reference those from the birds eye view) and while I have my own concerns about personal annoyance, I'm more worried about my 16yr-old who got his licence just a month or so ago knowing he WILL want to drive it and I don't want him scraping off a mirror or smashing into shelving with the front end. So ANY assistance the vehicle can offer will be highly valued.
Has anyone tested this? Or can anyone try it and confirm how accurate they find it to be when in a tight space and if folding the mirrors messes with it at all? Thank you!
