Blind spot detection systems will
alert the driver if there is a
vehicle in any blind spots, and intervention systems apply the brakes or provide steering if the driver tries merging into a lane where a vehicle is detected in any blind spots.

Driver assistance technologies help keep everyone safe, especially those on smaller vehicles like motorcycles that can be easily missed in a driver's blind spot.
