What is the main difference between Rear Traffic Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert?
1 Answers
Rear Traffic Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert mainly differ in their functions. Introduction to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is a driver assistance feature designed to inform the driver of approaching vehicles from the sides or rear when reversing. Function of RCTA system: When the vehicle is moving backward, the RCTA system alerts the driver if there are vehicles approaching from behind. The RCTA system uses BSM radar to detect other vehicles in the blind spot behind the vehicle. If the RCTA system determines that an approaching vehicle may collide with the host vehicle, it will sound an alarm, and the BSM warning icons on both side mirrors will also flash to alert the driver, thereby reducing the likelihood of a collision.
