Side Assist - blind spot vision

The device was developed by Audi to enhance the driver's perception even in the so-called "blind spot" - an area behind the car that is inaccessible to either the interior or exterior rear-view mirror.

These are two 2,4 GHz radar sensors located on the bumper that continuously “scan” the risk area and turn on the warning light (warning phase) on the outside mirror when they detect the vehicle. If the driver puts an arrow to indicate that he intends to turn or overtake, the warning lamps flash more intensively (alarm phase).

Proven on the road and on the track, the system (which can be turned off) works flawlessly: it has excellent sensitivity even for small vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles on the right side, it does not obstruct the view (yellow lights do not come on). enter the field of view when looking forward) and the sensors are not exposed to dirt or rain.
