NHTSA Complaint #11120019 — 2015 CHEVROLET IMPALA

I WANT TO SUGGEST WHAT I FEEL IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT. I PARK MY CAR EVERY DAY IN A NARROW SPACE IN MY GARAGE AT HOME. EVERY DAY WHEN I BACK OUT, THE SENSORS BEEP TO WARN ME NOT TO HIT THE GARAGE WALL ON EITHER SIDE. RECENTLY AS I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE, I BACKED INTO A CAR THAT WAS IN AN UNEXPECTED PLACE BEHIND ME. AS I THOUGHT BACK ON WHY THAT HAPPENED, I COULD NOT REMEMBER THE CAR BEEPING TO WARN ME OF THE OTHER CAR. I AM SURE THAT IT DID BEEP, BUT BECAUSE I AM SO ACCUSTOMED TO HEARING BEEPS AS I BACK OUT, THE WARNING DIDN'T REGISTER IN MY MIND. WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN A CHILD INSTEAD OF ANOTHER CAR? WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY, IT WOULD BE VERY FEASIBLE TO HAVE A CAR LEARN NOT TO BEEP TO WARN A DRIVER OF THE SAME OBSTACLES A THOUSAND TIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY, DAY AFTER DAY, BUT TO SAVE THE WARNING BEEPS FOR UNUSUAL OBSTACLES.
