In today’s times, safety features on a vehicle are among the most important criteria for consumers. This explains why Honda equipped the latest Pilot SUV with a host of safety features and classified them as standards.
However, consumers feel troubled when attempting to purchase Honda Pilot as the car is offered with some extras for an additional fee. One individual actually shared with us that the features offered includes a blind spot camera for the SUV.
For starters, the Pilot is already equipped with a reverse camera that automatically loads up whenever the reverse gear is initiated. The blind spot camera functions differently. The camera is installed at the side mirrors, to give the driver an added viewing angle that is useful for lane changing.
Then, there is the question on its importance. The blind spot camera is certainly helpful for new drivers that lack experience on the wide open roads. If you identify yourself as somebody from that bracket, then do not hold back and splurge on the cameras.
For experienced drivers, they should be adjusted to manually check their blind spots manually, without the aid of cameras. After all, such a safety feature is still not practiced commonly in today’s vehicle.
For all we know, charging extras for safety features is simply a business decision. If Honda truly represents safety, they should have made it as a standard. Instead, the blind spot camera is offered as an option.
