I was hoping to order one of the first 2025 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport, that's due to hit by mid-year of 2024
providing Honda copied something very close to what Hyundai has onboard for "Lane Changing Assist". Hyundai has a Camera and Sensor in each mirror AND as you hit the turning signal for either side, there's an onboard camera in the dash right in your face. There's also a readout on the forward windshield that shows the odometer, et.
This Safety feature alone would give Seniors and everyone else an edge when it comes to preventing accidents as we proceed to turn into opposing lanes on either side. Having to depend on the small mirrors is useless and the present "Lane changing meter is a small lighted signal that people tend to get benign to as we get comfortable .. There's just too much going on inside and out to not have a video camera view on the dash .
Guess I'll be holding and hoping 2026 is more promising.

Also, I witnessed a preview on YouTube of a 2025 Honda TrailSport that had over-projecting wheel fenders that made this truck appear Super. I've not seen this review again since my first spotting a week ago.
What are your thoughts on the above additions? I understand Honda was the first manufacturer to introduce the Lane changing cameras in the mirrors and on the dash. Why did they discontinue it?
 
My daughter bought a Hyundai Tucson and I was shocked at the tech sophistication for 1,00os less than my Ridgeline. It even tells you when the car in front at a stop light is pulling away if you are distracted.... Automatic wipers and 360* cameras, etc.

I wouldn't look for the RL to catch up in 2025. Not a biggee for me, the classic Corvettes I drive didn't even come with a factory right hand side view mirror and one has a fiberglass vertical strip in the middle of the back window.

The “preview” you saw of a 2025 is nothing more than fictitious clickbait, generated just for you by an AI bot in response to your search inquiry. It feeds you info it believes you want to hear/see, so that you will click and watch.

As for your hope “to order one of the first 2025 Honda Ridgeline TrailSport, that's due to hit by mid-year of 2024”, your information is all wrong. The first Trailsport trim level is for model year 2024, and will be arriving at dealerships in the near future (early 2024). None of the extensive info available about this new trim indicates any changes related to lane change assist. And there’s currently no reason to believe 2025 will be any different.

Agree. A friend just got a Genesis EV GV70, the thing is mind blowingly advanced. Face ID entry, Fingerprint START. 3D spin view of the camera system. Fantastic interior.
