I always laugh at people who back into spots in large parking lots (although in close-quarters it sometimes makes sense to), but now I realize that it could be a security measure (particularly in states without front plates), with or without this park assist.
- hugh3 15y agoThis is only in Australia, where all cars have (iirc) front and back plates.
- jesseendahl 15y agoCalifornia also requires all cars have both front and back plates.
- iaskwhy 15y agoCouldn't find a list but on all countries I have been to so far cars have front and back plates.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoCertain states in the USA only require rear plates; I think Texas at least was one of them, they may have changed it.

The only two states I've lived in (FL and PA) don't require front plates, so I was probably overestimating the popularity of only rear plates.
