US Cars - Is Blind Spot and Lane Depart enabled for our cars?

[Emira Fan]

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.

It's best if you clarify that this is for the I4. None of these features were promised/expected in the V6 cars.

The USA Handbook for V6 and i4 are updated as of Nov 2024 when I checked the main site. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/support/emira-handbook

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 just noticed that the US I4 cars don't have the little black plastic pod in the front for the radar sensor. So Lotus decided to not install these driver assistance features for the US I4 cars, I guess.

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.

Ah, makes sense
