Front Parking Sensor Trust

How much trust do you guys put into front sensors when it comes to detecting concrete parking blocks?

People depend on them to much.
The sensors sit to high to really tell you how close you are to a curb.
Once you get to close they disappear off the display.
As soon as they show up I stop right there.

Pretty much the same here. I just know to give myself a lot of space when parking near a concrete block. The car is on the short size so I feel ok leaving a lot of room up front.

Absolute zero...like Zero Kelvin zero.

I have a minor scrape on the bottom of my front end from an oddly high curb at Starbucks. I'll never be able to not look at it even though 99/100 people wont see it.

I back in everywhere now.

I apparently trust it too much lol. I am lowered with the MP lip. It's a bit erratic when you watch it as you carefully pull up to the curb.

Good luck, hope it doesn't come back to bite you. Most don't seem to trust it at all
