This week I’ve been cruising in the new GMC Terrain. And this Terrain is equipped with the most advanced safety features and accident prevention equipment on the market; GM’s forward collision warning (FCW) and lane departure warning (LDW) system. It turns out this simple, relatively inexpensive system makes a big impact.

The simplicity stems from the fact that the entire system utilizes one high-resolution camera to function. The camera is mounted in the windshield, on the right side of the rear-view mirror. The camera constantly takes four different pictures and runs them through algorithms to determine where the lanes are on the road and the relative distance and speed of a vehicle in front of the car. By comparison, most forward collision systems utilize radar on the front of the vehicle – usually the same radar utilized by adaptive cruise control systems.

The hardware’s simplicity leads to the headline of the system: it’s only a $780 option. So, is it worth it?

Short answer, yes. Both the lane departure warning and forward collision assistance work really well. Here are some notes I’ve taken during the last week regarding the system:
