Aren't we seeing our first requests from manufacturers to remove sideview mirrors entirely? To be replaced by cameras and video screens.

- gpm 7y agoWe've been seeing those requests for awhile now, e.g. this from 2016: https://www.oemoffhighway.com/electronics/sensors/proximity-detection-safety-systems/article/12246040/camera-systems-replace-side-view-mirrors https://www.oemoffhighway.com/electronics/sensors/proximity-...
- interestica 7y agoAre these in use now?
- CamperBob2 7y agoNot necessarily a bad thing, see my other comment about how ridiculously bad exterior visibility is becoming. It seems that each new model year brings higher beltlines, less glass... and more distracting "safety" gadgets that only sort of work. Few drivers use their mirrors, and even fewer adjust them properly, so they might as well be next on the chopping block.
