I've seen a video of experimental tech where a military humvee had a 360 array of cameras, whose feeds were collaged into a live 3rd person perspective feed. I think the humvee also had all its windows boarded up. The idea was for the crew not to use in-vehicle perspectives at all. I could see that working when you have to do tricky slow speed maneuvering. A top down view, where you could also see projections of how the truck would shift given different steering angles.

- extrapickles 7y agoYou don't really need to board up the windows for the cameras to be a big help. At least in the up armored humvees (the ones with bolted on armor), the side windows were very small, to the point that you had to have a passenger look out their side window to tell you if there was any oncoming traffic, or if it was safe to change lanes.
