Changing lanes or making turns can be risky due to blind spots – areas around the vehicle that are not visible in the rearview or side mirrors. The Blind View Monitor (BVM) is an advanced safety feature designed to eliminate these blind spots, providing the driver with a clear visual of adjacent lanes and significantly enhancing safety during maneuvers.

A Blind View Monitor (BVM) is a driver assistance system that displays a live video feed of the vehicle’s blind spots on the infotainment screen or instrument cluster when the turn signal is activated. This provides the driver with an immediate and clear visual of traffic or obstacles in the adjacent lanes.
The BVM system integrates cameras and display technology to provide real-time blind spot visibility:

Here are the pros, or advantages of a blind view monitor:
Here are the cons, or disadvantages, of a blind view monitor:
Installing a full-fledged Blind View Monitor system from the aftermarket is highly complex and generally not recommended for seamless integration. While aftermarket blind spot detection systems (using radar/ultrasonic sensors with warning lights) are available, a true BVM that displays live video on the infotainment screen requires deep integration with the vehicle’s wiring, CAN-bus system, turn signal logic, and display unit. This level of integration is difficult and costly to achieve reliably in the aftermarket and could potentially interfere with other vehicle electronics.
Currently, the 2025 Tata Altroz facelift is the most affordable car in India to offer a blind view monitor. However, it is only available in the top variant of the Tata hatchback. Other cars that offer this feature include the Hyundai Alcazar, Kia Carens, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
Availability can vary significantly based on the specific model year, variant, and manufacturer’s packaging of features. It’s always advisable to verify the features with the manufacturer or dealership for the most accurate information.
