Abstract
A laser guided parking assistance device and methods of operation are disclosed. An example laser guided parking assistance device includes a tilt switch to detect a vertical orientation of a horizontal orientation. The laser guided parking assistance device also includes a laser to emit a laser light beam in response to the tilt switch detecting the horizontal orientation. In an example, a laser guided parking assistance device is configured as a circuit including a battery power source, a laser diode connected in series with the battery power source, and a first tilt switch connected between the battery power source and the laser diode. The tilt switch opens in a vertical position to cut electrical power from the battery power source to the laser diode. The first tilt switch closes in a horizontal position to connect electrical power from the battery power source to the laser diode.
