Blind Spot Warning

Alerts the driver to the presence of vehicles in blind spots diagonally behind the car
However much a driver pays attention, there may be times when it is difficult to be aware of other vehicles traveling in what is commonly referred to as a driver’s “blind spot”. This system assists drivers in driving safely by detecting and warning them of the presence of other vehicles in the blind spot area.

Technology Functionality
The system recognizes when another vehicle is traveling diagonally behind the driver's car and signals the presence of the vehicle using indicators in the vehicle. These indicators are often found on either the side view mirror or the A-pillar (the part of the car body separating the door window and the windscreen). The driver is alerted to the presence of the other vehicle by the flashing indicator and an audible signal.
Technology Configuration
The system can use either a rear-view camera or rear/side facing radars. Both systems can detect the presence of vehicles diagonally behind, a location that frequently can be a blind spot for drivers.
