Too Afraid to Ask

It’s a safety feature that watches the lane next to you and tells you if there’s another car in it, so you can avoid a collision when changing lanes.

Technical Definition

Blind‑spot monitoring is a driver‑assistance system that uses sensors or cameras to detect vehicles in the adjacent lane’s blind spot and alerts the driver, usually with a light or sound.
