How does that work? If it can't open all the way then cars on the side become an issue. Unless it dips into the cars interior, which just creates issues for cargo and people inside.

It's just a useless gimmick that only complicates matters and creates issues. What if the sensors break? Especially once your warranty goes?

They have been attempted on more than a few cars and it never sticks because it's always a bad idea.
