Tesla introduces a blind spot indicator in the latest Model 3, a feature common in today's vehicles. Discover the unique placement of this safety tool and what
Talk about 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Just put it in the mirror…
I disagree. I’m already looking at my mirror to see if a car is in the lane besides me. A nice light indicator can be seen at the same time. I also need to double check my blind spot while I’m already looking in that direction. A camera makes me look completely opposite of where I should be looking.
Nothing will ever be foolproof, nothing is 100% certain. A blind spot monitor indicator is way better than a camera. Honda used to do the camera method and now use the indicator like everyone else. The camera method sucks.
It takes practice to get used to a new UI as critical as blind spot detection. It took weeks of daily driving for me to get comfortable with the cameras checking my blind spots. Now its night and day how much better a camera poping up to see my blind spot, and I don’t have to trust any software to check my blind spot.

Have you actually tried the camera on turn signal in a Tesla?
Yup, my brother in law has one and he had a civic before. Didn’t like either implementation. Would take a light in my mirror any day
