    Yeah they are called mirrors, turn your head and look for yourself.

    Why do people think warning systems replace commen sense?

    Quit being lazy and look for yourself.

    They SUPPLEMENT "commen (sic)" sense. Not replace. Probably too deep a concept for you.

    It is my opinion that all these nannies do not make anyone a safer driver. I feel they are dumbing down the drivers who depend on them. Why look & have situational awareness when you can have a nanny do it for you while you diddle with your phone or some other electronic appliance. Of course this is not you I am referring to bbh.

    Another step to the self driving automobile and computer controlled delivery to your favorite place/destination.

    I prefer to drive and look in my mirrors.

    To answer the question, I believe you can option your 2018 BMW/mini anyway you wish, just takes money!

    :)

    I believe there was a study that came out recently that stated exactly what is being said here.

    My main question is this: When circuit board W43880/Y shorts out and the appliance makes a hard left turn, speeds up then crashes into a school bus taking out 12 kindergartners, who is responsible?
