The newer models use a radar system in the rear wings as mentioned above in this thread, which gives a much more reliable system I have found...

Yes I've never had an issue with mine. Sees stuff long before it's visible in the wing mirrors. Cars and people crossing at right angles and cars coming up behind at high speed on the motorway. Can take 10 seconds or so before they become visible in the mirrors. I've learnt to be patient and wait because it's never a false alarm.
