Similar but when parking, not a slope.

I was backing in close to a convex curving kerb - along a tight road people park near train station so you don't want to be hanging out once others park.

I was being super careful, passenger side mirror dipped down and gave me visibility etc. All of a sudden ***KKEEERRR-UUNNNCCCHHHH*** and sudden stop.

I honestly sat for 30 seconds thinking about how I'd admit to my wife that it was me putting the a massive gouge on our otherwise pristine alloys.

Then I got out....hmmm...nothing. Was it the front? No. Side? No....

I tried again and same thing happened - emergency braking kicked in. As far as I can tell, it was a leafy branch on a bush hanging out. I had to turn off the parking sensors to actually complete the park. Fair enough I guess.
