US Patent 11335194 Inverse parking distance control system

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to providing inverse parking distance control (PDC). In one embodiment, a method for providing inverse PDC includes obtaining sensor data indicating an entity approaching the vehicle, determining whether the entity is a parking vehicle based on one or more characteristics of the entity derived based on the sensor data, determining whether the entity is utilizing a PDC system, and triggering a proximity alert when the entity approaches within a threshold distance of the vehicle and is determined to be a parking vehicle that is not utilizing a PDC system.
