Traditional wing mirrors were first added to buses in 1921 - 100 years ago. It's important we look at new solutions to enhance passenger journeys.
It doesn’t remove the need for a downwards-facing convex mirror on the passenger side, or at the front (presumably other cameras could be added to cover these areas, and perhaps sensors, too). What I really think about... supercars, America, foreigners, car launches, Top Gear, the battle of the sexes and cars " And it automatically changes the view depending on the use case – when you’re parking, for instance. Unfortunately this is rubbish: cars that appear perilously close on the screen are in fact a couple of metres away. That’ll give the Chelsea tractor brigade an excuse to park inconsiderately. Another snag is glare on the screens, though the picture resolution is of high quality. But the biggest beef I have is with the screens’ positioning: they are mounted too low. Anything that requires you to drop your sight below the window line is a retrograde step, denying drivers peripheral information about what’s going on around them. They would be much better placed at the base of the A-pillars, so big on modern cars they’re often a frustrating blindspot. Cameras are less reliable not just when it comes to their durability - the footage they provide can still be grainy or blurry, especially in poor lighting conditions. They could serve drivers ill on a bright sunny day too, due to camera lens flare.
Wing Mirror Legalities
The Chancellor must do more to help Britain's 6m small businesses with their digital skills, says EMMA JONES The monitors offer the driver a normal mirror-view in the top half and a wide-angle view in the lower half. This added peripheral view allows drivers to spot potential hazards – such as bicycles - coming down the side of the vehicle much easier. The new Audi e-tron is powered by a 95kWh 36-cell battery system underneath the passenger compartment, which drives two electric motors that allow it to accelerate from rest to 62mph in just 5.7 seconds and continue on to a governed top speed 124mph. And they automatically adapt their view to various driving situations, including motorway driving, turning and parking. Increase your driver’s visibility maneuvering around traffic and increase their confidence knowing they have the full vision and safety of others

Totally dust-tight. Full protection against dust and other particulates, including a vacuum seal, tested against continuous airflow. Nevertheless, mirror cameras have some distinct disadvantages. They’re more expensive to buy and replace. Since cameras are more complex than simple mirrors, they’re more likely to malfunction, and replacing them is not as easy as swapping the broken mirror.
