With technology constantly becoming more advanced, we are starting to see it spread across a variety of different fields. Backup cameras have become standard on all cars; brands are implementing new technologies like rear cross traffic alert to make drivers even more conscious of what may be behind them.
How does rear cross traffic alert work?
Rear cross traffic alert becomes active when the vehicle is put into reverse. Small sensors around the car can detect objects around the car. If you are getting close to something the car will alert you with a sound or an image.
Is rear cross traffic alert worth the cost?
For those who want to be safer while driving then it is well worth the cost. Most manufacturers have this as an option for around 500 dollars.
Which vehicles offer rear cross traffic alert?
As of the time of writing, rear cross traffic alert is offered as a standard or optional feature on these vehicles.
