Normally I don’t give a crap about blind spot monitoring. But last night, I was in the middle lane going like 70. The person in front of me was going like 60. There was NO ONE else on the road. So I checked all around behind me, saw nothing, and went into the left lane. Just as I was about to, the blind spot detection kicked off. Some motherfucker was going down the left lane in a black car with no headlights on. I got in behind him and flashed my high beams at him. He moved over and kept driving with no headlights. Idiot!!

    Radar based blind spot is the most useful safety assist feature, though I abhor those camera based systems cause they don’t do well in inclement weather and low light and this is a perfect example why camera based systems and mirrors alone might not always work.

      Yeah I know right. A camera based system would’ve picked up fuck all cause this idiot coming up on me had no headlights and was pitch black.
