Blind Spot Intervention
in the Infiniti Q50
Spread between the various trims we find features like adaptive cruise control,
blind spot monitoring, an array
of parking sensors, child locks, forward collision alert, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane change alert with
blind spot warning and a reversing camera with parking assist - pretty much everything that you can get
in a new
car to keep you alert and safe on the roads.
On the model we tested, which retails for about $ 65,000 (base price is $ 57,000), there wasn't an option for adaptive cruise control (slowing for the
car in front
of you), lane departure prevention (gently nudging you back into a lane), or even
blind spot indicators.
Finally, all trim levels (excluding the LX) come standard with Honda LaneWatch, which uses a camera mounted
in the side - view mirror to project a real - time image
of the
car's
blind spot onto the display.
As part
of what Ford calls the 401A equipment package, this Mustang GT came with a
blind -
spot monitor system, lighting a signal
in the side mirror when a
car is
in the next lane over.
Then it occurred to me that, as a small
car from a GM division, it sits

of blind spot: Chevy makes good pickups, good sports
cars and good SUVs, plus some okay crossovers.
The top -
of - the - line Technology package adds 19 - inch alloy wheels, electric parking brake, smart cruise control that can completely stop the vehicle and will tag along with the
car in front
in stop - and - go traffic, water - repellant front side windows,
blind -
spot detection with lane - change assist and a lane - departure warning system.
Part
of blind spot detection, it warns if a moving
car might hit you as you back out
of a head -
in parking
spot.
There is a slight
blind spot in the back
of the
car, but overall, visibility is acceptable.

The omission
of blind spot alert and rear cross traffic alert are big misses
in the
car and a terrible choice.

· IntelliSafe is a suite
of safety features that will help to protect you and your passengers
in the
car including Adaptive Cruise Control, a 360 degree camera,
Blind Spot Monitor, Park Assist Pilot and Lane Keeping Aid.
The long list

of any surrounding vehicles, passengers or other objects that may lead to a collision if unnoticed while the

in motion.
Namely, there's no standard backup camera here, no navigation option, no heated steering wheel, nor any

The K900 is also equipped with multiple driver assistance systems (ADAS), including the Surround View Monitor, which utilizes four cameras to provide a 360 - degree top - down view

in the instrument panel.
We also wish Honda would add a volume knob to the touchscreen infotainment system that's found
in EX and higher Accord models and that a traditional
blind -
spot - detection system — with warning lights
in the side mirrors — were offered
in place
of Honda's LaneWatch camera, which displays a video - camera image from the right side
of the
car on the center screen whenever the driver uses the right turn signal.
Radar sensors are integrated into the
car's
Blind Spot Monitoring System that turns on blinking warning signals
in one

of Hyundai's SmartSense active safety and driving assistance features, including
Blind Spot - Collison Warning, which works directly alongside Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning to warn the driver
of any surrounding vehicles, passengers or other objects that may lead to a collision if unnoticed while the
car is
in motion.
The
blind spot monitor system, another rare feature
in cars of this class, lit up icons
in the side mirrors when
cars were traveling
in the lane to either side.
All models (including the confusingly - named «Premium Plus» base trim) come with four - zone climate control, built -
in navigation, satellite radio,
blind spot monitoring and rear parking sensors as standard, which is okay for a
car at this price (especially as you'll be spending a minimum
of $ 70,000 on a Mercedes - Benz CLS if you want to match the entry - level Audi A7's spec level like - for - like).
On top
of features
in the entry - level trim, Mazda CX - 5's
in this specification come with built -
in navigation, heated front seats, a more versatile 40:20:40 split - folding rear seat arrangement that replaces the 60:40 setup on «Sport»
cars and safety gear like a
blind spot monitoring system.
