Yes, We Can Install Blind Spot Detection In Your Vehicle.
Are blind spot sensors reliable?
In reality, many blind-spot detection systems do not reliably detect cyclists. Even more alarming, 25% of drivers using blind-spot detection systems rely solely on these systems instead of performing visual checks for approaching traffic.
What is blind spot sensor warning?
Assists the driver to avoid a collision by detecting vehicles in the blind spot area when changing lanes. When the system detects a vehicle driving in an adjacent lane approaching the rear of the driver’s vehicle – a common blind spot area, it notifies the driver with an indicator.

Where are blind spot sensors located?
rear bumper fascia
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Are blind spot mirrors worth it?
Yes, as long as you place the blind spot mirror correctly. Although they are small, they do the job of showing you the spots that you can’t normally see with the OEM side mirror. Be careful, though, as there is still a chance that you might not be able to see every inch of the blind spot, so proper placement is key.
How does a blind spot warning system work?
Learn more. Blind spot warning (BSW) systems use cameras, radar, and/or ultrasonic sensors alongside your vehicle to detect vehicles you can’t see that are next to or behind your car. If a vehicle is detected there, drivers get a visual warning, often in the outboard mirrors, or on the front pillars.
When do blind spot sensors need to be replaced?

How does Blind Spot Assist work on a car?
Radar sensors installed on the rear bumper are used to detect vehicles in the blind spot areas. The radar sensors are behind the bumper. They are not the same as the parking assist (ultrasonic) round sensor you see. When a car is detected, the Blind Spot Assist will warn the driver via the triangle in the side mirror.
