As for the cross traffic alert sensor, since I usually reverse into parking spots, this was basically of little use to me. The few times it triggered, it was useless. I think a stationary tree (most are) triggered it once.
One question I have is whether the BLIS sensor is sufficiently sensitive to detect bikers? Didn't get a chance to test.
