Same as what I opted for on my recent order a couple weeks ago.
I actually would've liked both packages but I was trying to cut some costs a bit, so the advanced safety group got knocked out. I felt like I had to have the first safety group though as the blind spot and lane detection stuff always seems to come in fairly handy.
I do have forward crash warning on my current car and really don't find it very useful. In fact, it's fairly annoying and I've thought about just turning it off but haven't gotten around to it. It goes off frequently when I'm accelerating or approaching a vehicle and I'm nowhere near "crashing" into them.
Either way, I wonder if most of these features should just be standard items in this day and age. I guess it goes either way. I suppose it's nice to have the option to not have them if you want. But in reality, probably need all the safety stuff they can put on these vehicles in these days of distracted drivers looking at their phones everywhere.

I got the blind spot monitor and rear cross-path detection, but purposely didn’t get the adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning.
I think the BSM and rear sensors are worth the money. However, the adaptive cruise and forward collision I find intrusive and annoying. Worse, their forward sensors add a level of complexity I don’t want on a vehicle I take to the trail, least of all given FCA’s indifferent quality.
