Did the 2018 Subaru Forester have blind spot detection?

I’ve been driving my dad’s car and every now again when I prepare to change lanes, I see an indicator flashing on my side-view mirrors. Am I crazy, or does my dad’s 2018 Subaru Forester have a blind spot detection system?

I’m happy to tell you that you’re not crazy—your dad’s 2018 Subaru Forester does have a blind spot detection system.
Subaru introduced their blind spot detection system back in 2014, and it’s now included standard on a number of their vehicles and as an option on many more. Blind spot detection systems use radar to monitor the sides and rear of the vehicle and alert drivers if another car gets too close.
Blind spot monitoring systems have been
proven to reduce accidents
—but unfortunately, they can’t stop them all. That’s why you need the best
car insurance
possible, and
