Will the C8 have the full complement of safety sensors that we expect on lower cost automobiles. The C7 has nothing except a few cameras.

We know a goodly amount, for example that GM policy and practice is to integrate advanced safety equipment into all its new models, that the 2022 Fed safety regulations requirement automatic emergency braking (AEB), that Tadge wanted to include blind spot protection (BSP) in the middle of the C7 run but space precluded that option (interference with its rear corner heat exchangers), that GM has signed a pact with most other OEM’s for back up alert notification, and more.

The 2020 Corvette ME will have all of these, and additionally with its camera on the top, either on the halo bar or the upper part of the rear window area dependent on whether we are talking coupe or HT convertible model, we will have a much safer Corvette starting next year. While some might not care, bemoaning weight consequences, your insurance rates will positively care for all owners.
