Blind Spot Detection from the Customer's Perspective: Notes

In this section, example situations are used to explain how the Active Blind Spot Detection system behaves in different traffic scenarios. The emphasis here is not on the technology, but rather on how the customer perceives the system. In all example situations it is assumed that the driver has switched on the Active Blind Spot Detection system and that the road speed of your own vehicle is above 50 km/h (31 mph).
