Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.        Some of the latest technology really can help to prevent accidents…the problem is…buying a new car with that tech built in isn’t an option for many of us.  That’s why Pioneer’s latest after market driver assistance solutions with blind spot detection are worth a look.   Pricing starts at about five hundred dollars for a new BSD System…and can detect vehicles approaching on the left or right….as well as cross traffic.    Pioneer’s  VP of Marketing Ted Cardenas..

“And that is when you’re backing out of a parking spot.  Let’s say you’re at the local grocery store and you are backing out of a parking spot, the system will actually detect if there are vehicles coming from the left or the right when the vehicle is reversing.”

Prices don’t include installation…so you’ll have to take that into account,  but adding important safety tech to a vehicle you plan to keep for a good while can be a smart investment.
