Personally, I think the side-view-mirror-warning-lights are a nuisance, every time I've driven in a car that has them I wanted to turn them off. The rate of false positives is high, and because they flash at the edge of your viewing field, they divert your attention from the road...
- mhb 7y agoI don't know what car you drove, but, as a counter-factual, the Subaru ones are great. I've never had a false positive or negative and don't find them distracting. I'm also impressed with how well the rest of their safety tech works - lane changing warning, back up obstacles, etc.
- jclardy 7y agoAgreed, but with my Mazda. Maybe it is an older model? Mine is 2015. The only annoyance I have with it is if you are in a double left turn lane and actually use your signals. It'll beep at you since it detects a car and doesn't know you are turning vs changing lanes.
- ummonk 7y agoYeah, have a Subaru and find the safety / autonomy tech really good. The indicator is particularly useful at night when looking into the blind-spot isn't always reliable because car headlights can sometimes be hidden from view.
