Lane Change Assistant/Blind Spot Detection
The Lane Change Assistant or the Blind Spot Detection systems continuously monitor the rear blind spots on both sides of the vehicle. For example, before overtaking or changing lanes, the driver looks in the side mirror which confirms that the lane is free – but suddenly a car comes into the visual field from behind, just when the driver is about to change lanes. Such critical situations often arise in urban traffic and result in an accident if the vehicle in the blind spot is overlooked. When the turn signal is activated indicating that the driver is about to change lane, these systems warn the driver either visually or by discreet vibration of the steering wheel, if changing the lane is not safe at that moment.
