What is Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW)?

Front Vehicle Departure Warning (FVDW) is a drivers assistance feature available on select few cameras to let the driver know that the vehicle in front of you is pulling away from an intersection. This feature is used to alert drivers who may be distracted to divert their attention back to the road in front of them and can be found in the ADAS settings of these cameras.

The only cameras that have this features in our current lineup are those with an LCD screen. The reason for this is the driver is presented with a large car visual with a beep to inform them of the departing car ahead.
