Few driving noises can be as deflating as that of a car wheel scraping

against the curb when parking. It means you've misjudged your distance
  from
the sidewalk and inflicted some ugly and potentially expensive
  damage on
your wheel. The SmartRim is a device aimed making this a
  thing of the
past.

  The SmartRim was created by technology entrepreneur Steven D.
Domenikos
  with a view to giving drivers a clear idea of their proximity to
curbs
  and other unsighted car wheel obstacles. It employs a sensor that

measures the time taken for ultrasonic waves to reflect off nearby
  objects
dozens of times every second.

  The device also contains a
micro-electromechanical sensor that is used
  to constantly measure
acceleration and can reportedly detect actions
  like a person entering the
car. This helps it to be aware of its
  environment and allows it to become
active only when necessary, thus
  saving energy.


  Installation of the
SmartRim is claimed to take just a matter of
  minutes. It attaches to the
inside of a wheel well using the high bond
  adhesive and removable clip
base-plate provided. The device is powered
  using a single AA battery that is
said to last for more than 1,000
  parking cycles. It's said to be waterproof,
dust-proof, dirt-proof,
  vibration-proof and able to operate between
temperatures of -20 to
  120DEG F (-29 to 49DEG C).

  The SmartRim sensors
are wireless and relay information to an
  accompanying iOS mobile app. The
app is then used to provide alerts
  when the vehicle gets near to a curb,
walls or other hazards.

  The SmartRim relays information to an iOS app,
which provides alerts
  when a wheel gets clo...

  An Indiegogo
crowdfunding campaign for the SmartRim was due to launch
  on Apr. 26, though
there's no sign of it as of writing, with shipping
  expected to start in Q4
2015. A subsequent retail launch will
  reportedly see the device priced at
less than US$500 per vehicle, for
  which buyers will receive a sensor for
each wheel and the SmartRim app.
