A driving assistance system determines the presence of obstructions whilst a vehicle is being parked; this is stored in the drive history database of the vehicle. Obstructions may be kerbs or barriers at the end of a parking bay. When the vehicle is about to depart (someone enters the vehicle or sits in the drivers seat, the vehicle is started or put into gear, a key is introduced, or drive mode is selected) a warning is given of thee obstructions, which may not be detectable by the vehicles sensors or visible to the driver at that point. The notification, which may include the position of the obstruction, is given visibly or audibly to a human driver or electronically to an automated driving system of the vehicle.
