Blind spot monitoring systems were first introduced in 2005 by Volvo as an option for their top-of-the-line passenger sedans. Today, they are almost a standard safety feature or option on new cars, certainly more expensive ones.
However, with heavy vehicles that is not the case. Only a small percentage of Australia’s heavy vehicle fleet has blind spot monitoring systems fitted – and that analysis is based on our 15 years of providing blind spot monitoring solutions.
We recently sat down to chat with Marc McPherson, SGESCO-MAX’s Head of Research & Development, to get the low-down on the blind spot systems used in MAX-SAFE solutions.
