What does BSM mean for cars?
1 Answers
BSM in cars stands for Blind Spot Monitoring system, also known as Lane Change Assist system. It is designed to prevent scratches and collisions caused by unseen vehicles when changing lanes during driving. The BSM system has two sensors located inside the left and right rear fenders of the vehicle. These sensors emit specific radar waves while driving to monitor the situation of vehicles approaching from behind. When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the BSM warning light on the corresponding side mirror illuminates to alert the driver, helping to avoid potential hazards caused by blind spots. The Blind Spot Monitoring system effectively addresses blind spot issues during lane changes. This system utilizes radar sensors hidden on both sides of the rear bumper to continuously monitor the area approximately 20 meters behind the vehicle. Once a vehicle or obstacle is detected within the driver's blind spot, it immediately sends an alert to the receiver installed on the edge of the side mirror, reducing the likelihood of collisions when changing lanes.
