Vehicle safety technology continues to expand, and blind-spot monitoring represents a relatively new feature designed to assist with lane changing. A blind spot refers to an area outside of a driver's field of vision. Changing another line comes with risks when one car makes a lane change while not seeing another vehicle in the blind-spot. A blind-spot monitor provides a partial solution here.
Blind-spot sensors may send an audible alert to the driver. Upon hearing the alert, the driver might stay within a particular lane to avoid a collision. Some vehicles may come with a connected camera system, which adds a visual assist.
Drivers may benefit from avoiding any negligent behavior. Relying solely on a blind-spot monitor might not be enough. Looking and the lane and checking mirrors could cut down on the chances of a collision. The blind-spot monitor assists.
