    Thanks, makes sense. I thought the radar was up by the rear view mirror, guess I was wrong.

    Your badge has a radar built in. It’s used for adaptive cruise control and other “safety sense” features.

    Camera is for your lane departure warning system, and I think maybe pedestrian detection?
