They definitely create a blind spot at ~10 o'clock. That would be a pedestrian in a crosswalk when turning left. But, to me, the rear/side visibility gained more than offsets the visibility lost.
I'll take it as valuable advice.
BLISS is on everything but very low trims. Assist is BLISS and so much more. A minimum feature IMO. It's a whole other vehicle with assist 2.0 and active 2.0. I got rid of my first powerboost in less than 5 days due to not having assist 2.0. Anyone buying one of these trucks and not getting assist or active and 360 cams is really shorting themselves. I won't own another truck w/out either of those 2 features as a minimum. If it can't self steer, it won't be found here
Getting electronic driving aids (including 360-degree cameras) is the only reason I'm considering upgrading from what I have.BLISS is on everything but very low trims.

Never mind. I don't need active.
Hmm.. No 2.5KW inverter? Nothing is mentioned.
PB has 2.4 inverter as the base, the 7.2 is the upgrade.
Do the self-driving functions work when towing?
I have no use for Blue Cruise, where you get hands free but are constantly pestered to keep eyes on the road. To me, it is just kinda creepy to have those sensors constantly looking at your eyes.
Depends on what you're towing if you'd even want to use it. If you have a large unwieldy trailer it can induce unwanted self-induced feedback oscillations. I believe the hands free variant doesn't work, and even if it did I still wouldn't remove hands. You've got much slimmer margins for error towing.
I agree. While I'm not so negative about self-driving, in general, the manufacturers are still on the vertical part of the learning/improvement curve and prices are still at the high plateau level. Within a few years it will be ubiquitous, more capable/reliable, and cheaper.
Other than the self-driving bits, do later models have hardware that is not present in 2021 models, that would prevent upgrading the assist functionality in 2021 models lacking that hardware?
Assist 2.0 is the cruise radar, steering wheel button, and possibly the IPMA, but I'm not sure if it's different. May have to run the wires for the cruise radar.
