Lane change/blind spot

I liked it on a few rentals but took me a time or two to get used to it - after that it was very welcome

Does it actually do any maneuvering for you? That would freak me out.

Our truck has next lane warning light in the mirror, and an “approaching car in front too fast warning”. You get used to those. The “approaching too fast” lights up your whole dash board and beeps. Scared me to death initially. Now I just ignore it. The backup warning camera/beeper is another nuisance.

I think as long as you combine those features with common sense and being physically defensive, they’re helpful. Depending on them 100% is a no-no.

Are you referring to the blind spot monitoring?
