Blind spot assist habituating?

Does anyone here drive a car with BSA and another without, does it cause a problem when you are in the car without BSA?

No problem

In my other cars the mirrors for years have been adjusted to eliminate the blind spots, not requiring any of the electronics that MB uses. To adjust, simply move your head over to touch the side door window and adjust the mirror to where you would normally place it. Do the same with the passenger side mirror by moving your head to align with the rear view mirror. Then, drive the car and make the fine adjustment to make sure as soon as a car along side can no longer be seen in the rear view mirror, it shows in the side mirrors, and when it moves out of the side mirrors, you can see it in you peripheral vision. I haven't had to look to the side in 10 years with this mirror adjustment.
