I see that the Toyota 2021 Venza comes with a host of safetly features such as lane-keep assist, etc. But does it have BSM - Blind Spot Monitoring - that would illuminate a side-mirror lamp if there is a car in your blindspot? This is the single best safety feature I've ever encountered so it's a must-have for me.

    The Toyota website doesn’t have that information?

    Yes, the Toyota website did confirm that the car has BSM! Thanks. I tend to avoid vendor websites for a variety of reasons!

    Another question: I hate touch-screens as alternatives to real physical buttons, but it's getting harder and harder to avoid. So - from initial screen as you are driving along, how many 'screen touches' does it take to raise / lower the fan speed, and the temperature? I tend to fuss with those two settings a lot in every car I've ever had. I'm also leaning towards the smaller screen rather than the 12.3" screen, so is it faster or slower (more/less presses) to get there with the smaller screen? And, if I'm in the middle of navigating with the Android Auto feature, will I be forced to exit (and later re-enter) AA just to mess with the fan? Is there a voice activated command for 'raise fan speed' or 'raise temperature'? I'm getting more and more used to using voice commands with my Android phone ...
