What is the Toyota 4Runner blind spot monitor?

I used to have a Toyota 4Runner, but I got rid of it because it wasn’t exactly the safest car and I have a family. But now I read that Toyota is adding a number of safety features to the 2022 model. What is the Toyota 4Runner blind spot monitor?

You’re right about the 2022
Toyota 4Runner
! The new model has advanced safety features, including a blind spot monitor.
The Toyota 4Runner blind spot monitor uses radar to detect cars in your blind spot or approaching the blind spot. Once the radar detects other vehicles, it sends a visual cue to your side mirror.
Due to this and other advanced safety features, the 4Runner may finally get a five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Previous iterations of the 4Runner didn’t include these features and resulted in a four-star safety rating.
If you decide to purchase a 4Runner, the improved safety features might help you qualify for a car insurance discount. The easiest way to shop around for an affordable insurance policy is by using the
