I have the blindspot monitoring and TBH it isn't necessary with the huge wing mirrors correctly set

I ordered a prestige so that i could have the BSM! not a possible option on the pure ( at least not in Switzerland) . It had better be worth it.

I love technology but the danger is that we come to rely on it too much. Even with BSM I would always do a shoulder check before moving left or right.
The problem I have with too many tech "safety" devices such as BSM, adaptive cruise, all round cameras, etc is that we will get lazy and loose the skill to recognise hazards by relying on this tech, which with the best will in the world is not 100% reliable. Take for example stability control systems, this is great but you should not rely on it to get you out of trouble, the problem is that people do. Stability control can make you feel like a great driver as most people wont even feel it saving them, this instills false confidence and when the car reaches the limits of physics the car will leave the road at a very great speed
Better driver training would render most of these devices as unnecassary and is a lot cheaper
sorry for going on a bit

Oh, sorry, I misread that as something else!
