Cameras to replace mirrors? Goodness I hope not. Would be a nice option and I do hope it goes through, but I would still pass on it. I don't see reliable cameras and multiple screens being cheap. Yes, I am aware of the constant rule of electronics constantly becoming cheaper. Something that can take Colorado winters and summers, be reliable, multiple screens that are not blinding, good night visibility but doesn't get washed out by headlights...will not be cheap. At least enough to justify the fuel savings.

I rather enjoyed this comment.

"Hey, that's it! Once the car cameras have been out for a while, I'll bring to market a new "green" invention to replace all those problematic, electricity hog cameras. It's a flat piece of glass with a reflective surface......."
