As if automatic braking were not enough to make any safety junkie swoon, there is also a Rear Cross Traffic Alert camera available on each of these models. This system alerts the driver of a possible collision when reversing, for example, out of a parking space. The driver can see behind them in the rear camera. Additionally, if another vehicle is approaching within 65 feet of either side of the Regal, it will alert the driver.

The 2018 models also come with optional Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. An icon will appear on either of the side mirrors if another vehicle is in the blind spot, or quickly approaching it. The turn signal must be engaged for this system to function. However, Lane Keep Assist is also available. This provides a lane departure warning and even makes minor adjustments to the steering in order to keep the car safely in its lane when the turn signal is not being used.
