What is BMW blind spot detection?

I’ve read that BMW has some of the safest cars on the road due to advanced safety features. One of the things that I keep seeing is BMW blind spot detection, but I’m not sure what it is. What is blind spot detection on a BMW?

Nearly every BMW gets a five-star safety rating due to its advanced safety features. One of these features is Active Blind Spot Detection. BMW Active Blind Spot Detection is a series of radars that monitor the space around your car.
When you change lanes, the system springs into action, providing visual cues that alert you of obstacles in your blind spot. Remember that this system shouldn’t replace checking your blind spots or looking over your shoulder. But it can reduce the chance of a collision when you’re changing lanes on a highway.
BMW makes great cars with top-notch safety features, but you can’t legally get on the road until you have a car insurance policy. One of the best places to start is with the
