    Are they trying to replace mirrors on the door entirely? so in the future they’ll be like no door mirrors and only tech screens in the cab with the cameras on top of the doors?

    I actually think it’s cool, it just looks funky with the double mirrors at the moment

    @MACK E-6 lmao they got double mirrors and more screenings distracted driving galore!

    They could put a camera in the contraption to see how often the driver checks the mirrors.

    I thought it was one of those cameras like you see on towards the bottom of some trucks. I saw Schnieder and Maverick with those too. I think it's a great idea to have those cameras on the doors, that way erratic 4 wheeler drivers can have their feet held to the fire.

    you know what would be awesome for the erratic four wheelers that sit on our trailer, an automatic LED light sign… “Please drive past truck”

    Especially for those times you’re on the two Lane highway for like the next 150 miles and that one car is just sitting there for like 5 miles on the side even though you have your blinker on they’re just still sitting there… and if they’re not on the side of the truck, they’re like at the tail end of the trailer just sitting there for miles being annoying.

    All the steering wheel holders have become soo lazy to turn their head to look at a mirror that we now need a mirror screen in the cab instead :eek:
