My 2017 C7 has a total of 4 cameras. When I either pull up or back up to an obstacle, the cameras show a set of green, yellow, red lines depending how close I am getting. My question is there an audible sign when the car gets too close to an obstacle? I have 2 Fords with cameras that have an audible warnings. Does my Vette have the same thing? If so, how do I turn it on?

There is no audible alert to my knowledge. The camera also doesn't seem to provide quite a wide enough view if turning while backing up. I'm always worried one of the rear corners is going to hit something that doesn't appear in the camera until it's too late.

No audible warning, a serious shortcoming. I'm sure someone will chime in (no pun intended) and say that a car like ours does not need that (safety) feature. Well, I'm in the majority that drives my car on the road.

There is no warning as the car does not have proximity sensors. It similarly does not have blind spot monitoring, lane assist, etc.

I personally am happy not to have a half dozen little round protrusions coming out of my bumpers for this feature.

Its dumb not having the latest & greatest "safety" features. Another Chevy shortcoming!

Elk

As with everything, it is a trade-off. Adding all of these driver assistance gadgets increases the cost of the car.

Additionally, many would see crutches for the most basic driving tasks as anathema to a driver's car. Does a competent driver really need a warning to check the blind spot before changing lanes? Or a nanny reminding the driver not to drift out of his lane?

thank you !!!

Well, it can't cost THAT much as they come standard on some really cheap cars. And what's wrong with making the roads safer through devices that do so.... you want them to take all the safety $hit off airplanes just because someone used to fly F-15s? F-35?s....

When I want basic transportation with zero nannies I pull the Ferrari out of the garage.....

I totally agree!!!

I wouldn't complain if they added some of the safety features to the Vette. Tadge has already explained why some have not been added to the C7 (room for the sensors in an already cramped area for example). Someday the items may be mandated for all cars, but for now we'll just have to live with what we have.

Kind of off topic, but I would sure like to have adaptive cruise control...

Elk

I have not expressed an opinion one way or the other, merely observed "many would see crutches for the most basic driving tasks as anathema to a driver's car." You may not be in this group - which is perfectly fine.

Can't argue with this. What an eyesore that would be.

And unless it is not using police band radar, I don't want it at all. Fortunately, I do believe all new cars will no longer use police band after 2022, hopefully they will phase it out sooner for everyone's sake.

That is probably one feature I wouldn't use. I set my cruise at the minimum speed I want to drive and open the throttle if I want to go faster I don't want the car to suddenly slow down and lose momentum just as I am preparing to pull out and pass the car in front of me.
