New car sighting

In a place where cool car sightings are few and far between, I saw something pretty new today: a smart cabrio.
It was red, and I was behind it in traffic. It was interesting to note that it had what looked like backup sensors. You'd think that in a car that small you'd be able to reach out the back of the car with your hand to see if you can touch the car behind you. Of course, since it was only 18 degrees, the top was up...

My guess is that with that top up rear visibility is pretty low, as is common in convertibles, but especially ones in which the rear window is about the size of a ship's porthole. Hence the backup sensors.
