This is not suitable for lane changing but I imagine creative use of cameras all around the vehicle and proper placement of LCD displays could make those mirrors look like dated technology.
I don't know what Tesla's implementation was but I am sure we can do better than mirrors with blind spots.
- codex 13y agoNissan has this feature too; Nissan's implementation is a bit better in that they use four cameras.
- pselbert 13y agoAnnoyingly this causes me to have to "accept" that I won't rely on the cameras every single time I start the car. Without doing so I can't access the radio, nav, etc. Proximity sensors and cameras can be invaluable when parking though.
- teleclimber 13y agoYes I saw that in my friend's BMW. Pretty annoying. Imagine what it's going to be like with self-driving cars?
