WHAT’S A BLIND SPOT MONITOR?

While there’s no substitute for having old-school road savvy and defensive driving skills, even the best drivers can make mistakes. Modern technology can help drivers stay alert at the wheel and informed about the traffic around them.
Using state-of-the-art radar technology and on-board cameras, cars can monitor the road ahead and behind to gauge the proximity of surrounding traffic. If a nearby car enters the driver’s blind spot, visual, audible or physical cues from the car will alert the driver to the danger. As well as being one of the most popular safety features among drivers, it’s also got one of the highest success rates.
