I'm in a rental right now with blind spot detection, and at first I thought it was pretty decent. Recently though, I've realized that 75% of the time it dings at me when I signal to change lanes, there's literally not a single object within 50ft of me on that side. It's just meaningless noise to ignore the majority of the time.

It's your car model. Plenty of them are configurable, take relative speeds into account, and quite accurate.
