I find with properly set mirrors - I really have no blind spot down either side... Cameras show the same things the mirrors do (and less reliably).
A flashing light to tell me there is something there I can already see is just a distraction to me.
Directly to the rear is the only 'blind' spot mirror wise... and working camera addresses that.
Based on that:
1. Do you think BSD will benefit RV drivers, increasing their awareness
and safety? No
2. Do you consider it a useful technology? No
3. Do you think BSD should come standard on all RV’s out of the factory? No (many other things I would rather pay more for than that)
4. Would you prefer to purchase an RV with BSD or the same model RV
with no BSD option? No preference - wouldn't be a deciding factor
5. Everything else being somewhat comparable, would you prefer to
purchase one RV model with BSD over the other RV model with no
BSD? No preference - wouldn't be a deciding factor
6. Would you prefer a visual blind spot icon flash only, or a subtle audio
cue as well? A subtle audio cue over the sound of the V-10 revving?? Maybe in a DP...
7. Does your RV currently have BSD? Yes - the drivers eyes on mirrors.
8. Would you replace your current RV mirror with one that offered BSD
built in? No.. The cost of RV mirrors is ridiculous enough - I can't imaging with BSD built in.
