As for the A-pillars, I read about a solution somewhere, goes like this:
- There is a camera on the 'out' side of the A-pillar;
- There is a screen on the 'in' side of the A-pillar;
- The car tracks driver's gaze and projects the camera view on the A-pillar screen, so as to stitch together the views from the windshield, A-pillar screen, and the side window.
The result being, it looks like the A-pillar is not there at all.
I wonder if some car already has that. Iirc some teenager presented similar solution on a science fair.
- stevenicr 7y agoI had this idea years ago when teaching a girl to drive some. She had to put seats all the way as far as they go, and with several vehicles she would not drive them because the thickness made the blind spot too big for her comfort, on both sides. Not sure if this has to do with airbags being there with some vehicles? Anyway, I had seen an article about flexible led screens, bracelets maybe? and thought to put them on those blind spots with a few cameras on the outside. I wasn't sure the idea would be popular, or who to even present it to. Glad to see others talking about it and doing it!
- Piskvorrr 7y agoTBH, I am thinking of doing a poor man's version of this with a RPi Zero, a fish-eye lens, and a small display (times two, one for both sides). Not sure how well it would mesh with the airbags, crumple zones et al, though; camera-to-display latency might be an issue, too.
