Is it legal to replace the side mirrors with cameras? (Needs bigger displays for the driver.)

  Other manufacturers have already done so. Honda being the biggest (see Honda Landwatch). So, I'd imagine that it is.

    Are they actually replaced though? The ones I've seen are more enhancements to the existing mirror.

    Lanewatch doesn't replace anything - the mirror is still there, you just get a different/possibly better view on the internal screen to accompany the mirror.

  Not sure whether it is legal. The idea is not unique, Porsche also uses this idea in one of their concept cars: http://www.porsche.com/microsite/mission-e/international.aspx#/design http://www.porsche.com/microsite/mission-e/international.asp...

  Manufacturers have requested a regulatory change, but NHTSA currently requires a side view mirror. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/571.111 https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/571.111
