As mentioned, I believe many of us who submitted serious questions not answered in the video, did get serious responses via email. I think they are trying…
I actually appreciated the CEO’s humor and I did get an e-mail follow-up to my unanswered question, with an informative, serious answer. For me, this would be a second car, and while I’m an SUV fan, (not so much a pick-up fan) the increasing real-world cost is a concern. Initially, the Slate...
…my feelings exactly, phidauex… as you can see from my posts on this thread. I still hope Slate changes gears on this, and offers it as an extra add-on.
Many cars back in “those days” only had a “driver side” side mirror… I started to drive in the 1960’s, and side mirrors on the passenger side of cars were usually reserved for ”sports cars.” Of course, way before, no side mirrors... less traffic, slower cars, etc. I think by late 60’s the gov’t...
Hey folks — I appreciate the spirited discussion here after I posted my desire for the BSW tech. I agree with the “set your mirrors correctly and pay attention” crowd… but I also think blind-spot warning is a genuinely useful backup, not a substitute for good driving.
I’m retired, and over...
Everyone has different needs and situations. I prefer a lower price over motorized adjustable mirrors. This is acceptable because I’ll be the sole driver most of the time. Once I adjust the seat and mirrors, they stay that way for about six months. In winter, I need to wear a heavy jacket, which...
Zipn, I hope you are right, and Slate includes the BSW, but I have not heard nor read anything indicating they will. I submitted a question regarding this for the recent video they released answering questions from “deposit holders.” They did not address my question during that session (I...
A agree with you all! I am just saying, for me, the blind spot warning system is an extra layer of safety… along with mirrors properly adjusted and LOOKING. I do not solely rely on that system, but, again, for myself, it is something I would always want on my car. (Just as I appreciate rear...
I totally get why you think mirrors should be properly adjusted! But I actually find the BSW feature to be a great safety boost that makes me feel more secure. I’m not as young as I used to be, and twisting and turning to check the blind spot has shown I have less neck mobility than I once did...
Driving vehicles with Blind Spot Warning system, to me, is a major safety feature. I know how to drive, but this safety system has become a real advantage and a “must” for me. Safety is paramount. I hope Slate decides to build this “system” in, or, at least offer this as an option. I feel so...
