To us, "'Hoover" is simply one of many brands of vacuum cleaners.
Just seems strange to "hoover" with an Electrolux, or a Panasonic or a Samsung or ...... whatever.
A bit like having a cat-dog or a horse-cow

It is always a vacuum cleaner or simply a vacuum in my house. The only time it was a "hoover" was when IT WAS a Hoover. For the past 30+ years it has been a Kirby.

I don't have any on my car but then I don't do much reversing these days.
You are so far behind modern technology in cars like self parking, yes it can do that too, even shows if your tyre pressure in any tyre is too low with picture.
Have to be honest here, there is too much information on my car that most of it will never get used. After all who wants a picture of what colour your car is? yes even does that.
