Mirror Eye mirror less trucks

you obviously have not had any of your mirrors knocked off with a trailer, while THAT driver was backing up..??

i have, at the wawa in Allentown, PA.....on what is it, Rte 100..??? and Schantz Rd..?????

never under estimate the powers of a moron backing up....

 

Screw it, get one of these cameras stuck on your roof. It telescopes!

 

I was trying to find a better picture. If you look at this one and how dirty the mirror is vs the mirror eye. It seems to do pretty good.

 

This.

Cameras aren’t natural. The brain has to interpret what the camera has already interpreted. I might like this in addition, but NEVER as primary.


In the meantime I’ll be hiring hackers to send images of tiny green aliens climbing on the truck.

Maybe nekkid hula girls

They’ll get closer to view. And each’ll have the face of the driver

 

Yeah, it might be a nice supplement.

The camera following the trailer could be good at times but it's not natural.

Not sure about how bright they seem inside the cab at night. That can't be good for your forward vision.

Interesting though.

 

I'm thinking it is probably the same as a back up camera on a regular car. They aren't bad at night at all. Definitely better than some highbeams flashing into your face.

 

Just open your door and lean out to back. No mirror needed.

 

I have been known to stand on the running board and back in before, even have jumped off and looked while it is backing up. lol

 

I can remember similar debates about automated manual transmissions as recently as 5 years ago. Just go to Truck paper.com to see the percentage of trucks now sold with automatics, and none of those truck listed are heading for any mega, all small fleets and individuals.
Resistance to technological advance.
Now where the hell is that #### buggy whip?
