botsapper · 07-06-2016, 08:33 PM

Japanese auto industry is allowed by legislative changes to replace mirrors with high resolution cameras. The advancement of HD/UHD/4K digital cameras and sensor technologies will allow cars have better aero-efficiencies and 'blind spot' awareness/safety. Manufacturers, Ichikoh Industries and Robert Bosch GmbH will provide camera and monitor display combinations to replace mirrors on existing vehicles. Suppliers and installers will still have to devise and engineer optimized camera installations and stable monitor attachments for the various brands' interior spaces. USA might adopt camera/display standards by 2018.
