What features do you look for when you're shopping for a vehicle? At Fred Beans Hyundai of Langhorne, we like to provide you with helpful automotive information. Have you heard of a blind spot monitor? This is one of the most in demand driver-assist features available and is sometimes standard in high trim levels and available with base and mid-level models.

A blind spot monitor works by scanning a driver's blind spots. If a vehicle is detected, this feature will issue visual and/or auditory alerts to let the driver know it's not safe to change lanes.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, certain driver-assist features, such as blind spot monitors and lane keeping systems, can significantly enhance protection among drivers and passengers. One study found that lane-change injuries could have been reduced by 55,000 and lane-change accidents by 85,000 in 2015 if every vehicle had a blind spot monitoring system.
