RE: volvo blindspot sensor
my daughter and I saw it last night. her first comment was 'jeez, how hard is it to turn your head and look', and I think she is right. they should call this stuff 'gadgets for lazy, incompetent drivers'.

I work on Volvo's. Good system, but a little overkill imo. How hard is it to adjust your mirrors to see your blindspot ?

But if it helps stop stupid. I bet the thousands of bikers that were hit by cars where the driver didn't see them wish they had this "blindspot technology". I know I sure do.

RE: volvo blindspot sensor
Yeah, I've seen it...I commented on it in another thread. The whole thing makes me uneasy having spent 5 days in hospital because some knucklehead couldn't twist his neck before he changed lanes.
The technology is good, I just don't like the commercial...Or any of the Volvo commercials that 'take the driver out of the car'.

If someone's too lazy to check their blindspot, what makes you think they ever check their gauges and dash?

And had theknucklehead that"couldn't twist his neck before he changed lanes" had this "blindspot technology" you may not have been hit at all.
I'm for anything that makes bikes and riders more safe, I don't really give a **** about the mental mightidiot in the cage if there is some new technology that will help take the stupid our of cagers, then bring it on.

That and the other commercial's where two Yuppies are racing to get to a dinner@1am and almost run into acargo truck
OR that lady driving an a subdivsion and looks at towards the passenger seat and the sensor tells her that she's going to hit the vehicle in front of her. (good thing it was a car instead a a kid on a bike)
