There is a reason why it's called BLIND SPOT monitoring. You can't see everything by turning your head. You always turn your head and check your mirror.
Thank you Red. Just thank you.

How I use BSM: I use it to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that it is safe for me to pull in front of you... I'll never be that guy that makes you brake because I cut in front of you too close...

3.3 Complacency
When a system fails to work or is in a state that failure is possible, feedback should be
provided in order to let the driver know that s/he can not rely on the system. The main reason
for this is that automated systems can and will lead to what has been called complacency
(Wiener and Curry, 1980). Complacency is an attitude of (over)reliance on an automated
system. In a test of reaction time to a system failure cue, Knapp and Vardaman (1991) found
support for complacency, i.e. the reaction time to this cue increased compared to normal task
performance. Ward et al. (1995) also found evidence for complacency, poor lane position
control and failure to yield to other traffic was more frequently observed in drivers driving a
car with AICC compared to drivers driving a normal car
Several reservations that have consequences for acceptance by the relevant stakeholders,
hold for any of these modes. A few studies found support for compliance, i.e. excessive
reliance on automated (ADAS) systems, others reported deterioration in driving
performance. This and other forms of behavioural adaptation, or compensation as it is called
in a wider field, are factors that should be taken into account when investigating the
conditions for introduction of ADAS (Verwey, Brookhuis & Janssen, 1996).
BSM is probably my favorite feature on the CX-5. It's the most used feature for me. It's never not detected a vehicle in my blindspot. In actual fact it is a little too sensitive and light up when there was no vehicle there but just a hedge. I still glance around to visually check before changing lanes but I don't need to fully turn my head around to check. I'm usually quite aware of the vehicles around me in the surrounding lanes. I like the BSM.

I have found BSM absolutely worthless for this, as it does not take into account speed differentials, and the distance for BSM to be "okay with" what I am doing is likely to spark road-rage, were I to rely solely on that.
With BSM, my Mirror check is rather redundant, but out of habit. I have yet to cut anyone off on the highway. But perhaps you are right in the city. I check mirrors because of the bike lanes.

Worthless? You're nuts. Speed differential? LOL If I am passing you...ergo my speed is higher then your speed... When that light blinks out, I know with 100% certainty that it is safe to get in front of you. So far it's worked every. Single. Time.

While interesting, it doesn't go enough into if/how they measured this other than cherry-picking pieces from other studies that supported their results. It reads more like an opinion or editorial piece that feeds on fear of "automated" systems (especially since it's a ~16 year old study). Interesting read though.
Yea, I use my eyes on the onramp.I'll continue to visually confirm. I was referring to merging onto the freeway, not passing people.
Human nature has not changed in 16 years.
