I used to park a 1959 Olds sedan in my modest Wisconsin garage. There were no back up cameras offered in 1959.

I put a tall narrow cardboard box against the wall. When I got close to it the brake lights lit it up. When it moved I knew I was within 6 inches of the wall. That car needed to be that close for the garage door to close.

I agree with the electronic device. Just change the batteries often.

We had one of these and it worked great for a tight spot in our garage. If it goes missing, it's not hard to replace.

If you taught others how to park...you would also then have pupils.
