Additional Valeo Innovations:


Changing lanes is always risky, particularly if a car in the next lane is going much faster or slower. And then there’s also the blind spot – an area behind the car which cannotbe seen in the wing mirror.

Valeo’s blind spot detection lets the drivers know if there are any vehicles in this spot (highlighted organe) – invaluable information, particularly if the driver suddenly decides to change lanes.
