Those radars are only used in the active feature for the lane change and auto lane bias. No utility in the assist 2.0 by adding them.Has anyone bothered with trying to replicate the “Assist” functionality with what I assume is some BLISS sensors up front?
If the system properly utilized the mirror cameras, there'd be no use for the front sensors as their azimuth and beam width provides very marginal utility to the system. They're the same radars BLIS uses but unlike bliss's 45 degree angle between the side and rear, the front BLIS sensors are basically -10 degrees from the side with almost no forward visibility (They're essentially pointing at 280 degrees and 80 degrees respectively, whereas the BLIS radars point at 225 degrees and 135 degrees). If the mirror cameras were used the lane centering would be unrivaled in its ability to track the center with lines present.
The front radar and camera are used for most of the prevention aspects. There'd be more there if they could use it to prevent blind pull-outs, kind of like the rear cross traffic alert. They don't have the range to detect a cross-traffic red light runner for instance.
