Perfect. This is exactly it. Thank you.
I still fail to see any real world benefits for a warning system like this. It doesn't do any active braking, or even assisted braking for you, like a Volvo would. It's merely a warning icon and chime. WHY? I'm already freaking out about crashing, so while you're stating the obvious is appreciated, it really is unnecessary.
