The next feature that we are going to look at is blind spot detection.  This is a great radar that will actually help you whenever you are trying to merge.  You know when you are merging and even though you have attempted to look everywhere, someone is still in your blind spot and you end up cutting them off?

That is what this little device was designed to help you stop.  Usually, it is something that will be alerted whenever you put your turn signal on and if it detects something, it will either sound an alarm or something will flash in your mirror.

This is a great way to ensure that you do not side-swipe into someone and that nothing happens to you or your car!

One thing that you might notice whenever you are in the market for a brand new car is all of the brand new technologies and safety features that are included in the car now.  In the next couple blogs, we are going to explore exactly what features are out there and what features you should certainly keep in mind whenever you are car shopping!

For one, you want to make sure that there is an adaptive cruise control/collision mitigation system in place.  While the modern and recent cruise control option just allows you to maintain constant speed, thanks to some of the use of radar, the newest cruise control can actually adjust the throttle and the brakes and will actually keep you a safe distance away from the car in front of you.

What this means is that your cruise control will keep you safe while you are using it.
