Yeah, blind spot detection is really goddamned stupid on a normal size car for someone who knows how to adjust their mirrors properly. I can think of 0 times in my life where something was in my (alleged) "blind spot".

That said, I'm happy that the masses in their Canyoneros have it; makes it easier for me to blow by them in my puny little cars; the oversensitivity makes them think they have way less space than they do, so I can just sneak right by before they figure out how to use their mirrors and judge distance.

It's gonna become more and more necessary, though, as cars get ever-higher beltlines, thicker c-pillars, higher trunks, etc. Pretty soon you won't be able to see out the windows at all!
