Just went through the menus on my US car (parked). Didn't see any of these Driver support features. Is anyone with a US car able to confirm our cars have these features ? (If so I may need software patch). Images below are from the 2022 manual.

OMG I'm going to have to turn most of that off. Rear camera is useful, and probably parking sensors, but that's about it....
USA cars have none these features. I just took delivery of an I4.
I don't recall seeing them on the Japan market i4 cars (October 2024 delivery) either.
Simple, NO.

Thanks for posting the 2024 US handbook.
Interesting that all these driver assist features are in the US book marked as [if available]. Same in the US 2023 Handbook.
Clearly our 2024 cars don't have the proper modules installed for DA. Wonder if our US cars are prewired for the modules required to outfit DA features.
Perhaps for Hefty fee Lotus could installed post delivery. Cross path and Blind spot are two feature I really enjoy having on my other cars.

Doesn’t seem like these things are “for the drivers” anyways. Not sure why they were ever potentially included.

I might be wrong but I have the impression in China these are compulsory?
Rear back up warning systems and cameras are required in US as well to prevent people from backing over their kids.
Honestly rear back up warning or blind spot detection I'd welcome. Having them in other cars that don't even have the same low visibility makes a difference.

I wouldn't mind blind spot monitoring to be honest. I don't use it much in my F150 but visibilty isn't great in these cars and it would be helpful.

Usually adjusting the mirrors correct negates the need for blind spot monitoring but the drivers side mirror on the Emira does not go outward enough to eliminate that side's blind spot. The passenger side has enough movement. You can still shift your head a little extra and make it work.
EDIT: Do the cars still have the icon in the mirrors but its not functional or is it gone all together?
