Question 8019
Are there driver assistance systems that improve the driver's visibility in areas where they may have difficulty seeing when maneuvering?
- Yes, such as the rearview camera.
- Yes, such as cruise control, adaptive or conventional.
- No, although some systems emit audible signals if there is a risk of collision.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, such as the rearview camera.
Yes. The backup camera turns on when you shift into reverse and shows the area behind the car on the screen—the hardest area to see when maneuvering. It helps with maneuvers like the one the red passenger car in the image is making as it backs up alongside the sidewalk. More advanced cameras add lines showing the path of travel. Cruise control maintains the speed you set and doesn't improve what you can see.
