Automotive safety technologies have definitely advanced throughout the years. In addition to collision mitigation devices such as seat belts and air bags, Burlington drivers also have access to systems that seamlessly coordinate with their own defensive and evasive actions. Blind-spot monitoring systems currently rank among the most popular of these. At Earthycars, we want motorists to understand how these monitors work and why they're definitely worth having.
What a Blind-Spot Monitor Is
A blind-spot monitor detects moving traffic that's in a driver's blind-spot. It does so via a system of cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and even radar in some instances. When obstructions are identified, this system issues both visual and audible alerts so that drivers can proceed with caution, delay lane changes until they're safe to make, or choose alternative courses of action.
The Benefits of a Blind-Spot Monitor
One obvious benefit of having a vehicle with a blind-spot monitor is getting reliable alerts of any autos that you're unable to see. Audible, visual, and other alerts make it easy to safely change lanes in even the most congested city traffic. Blind-spot monitors also limit the risk of sustaining serious automotive damages and personal injuries. This is especially true when this technology is supported by automatic emergency braking systems.
