CarPlay is already in the mix. Not sure about Android Auto though.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
To that, having a roof sensor for parking garage clearance bars would be great too
Not just that, but the occasional tree down on the trail/road, or branch you're backing under while you're pulling into a campsite, that sort of stuff. Could be a nice feature.
That is generally done with a forward looking camera so it has plenty of time to warn you. I think it is incorporated in what is know as 360 view.
I’ve never experienced for the top of the car. If someone knows of a model I’d be curious. I’m used to 360 but I’ve never had the warning sensor beep when going in a parking garage. Or I see a height bar at a drive-in, etc…
As it turns out no manufactures do this. Many modern vehicles have parking assist systems with sensors, like ultrasonic or radar, to detect obstacles around the car, such as walls or other vehicles, especially during parallel parking. However, these are not designed to measure the height of a parking garage entrance. I wonder why?
Glad I wasn’t crazy. Makes you wonder if it struggles to detect but to add it would be very cool. If nothing else, maybe as part of the roof rack since that adds a good amount of height.
That would be a good place for it.
Back in the day my father in-law who, always loved his old Suburbans would take his dymo labeler and stick messages on the dash for when the kids came of age to drive, like remember it is an old car, Jiggle the key if it dose't turn over and remember this is 6' tall when you park. I guess we could do that.
O'h yes I knew my wife before we could drive.
May be a good excuse for a front mounted UHF antenna like the Aussies use. Just get one the same height as your roof and put a tennis ball on it
