A pair of camera-equipped mirrors have been developed by the Magna International. These mirrors enable the users to see video of the surroundings while driving. Dubbed as the ClearView system, the Canadian automaker’s latest product will allow the drivers an improved visibility while changing lanes, backing out of the parking space or driving a vehicle with a full cargo and people capacity. The self-cleaning cameras will be combined with the traditional side view mirrors and the company believes that mounting the camera on the mirror beyond the widest point is done “to achieve a maximum field of view, enhance the driver’s awareness and improve safety.” The rear view mirror mounted on the windshield will have the ability to provide an unobstructed view of what is behind the vehicle and also can be switched to a fully functional infotainment screen.
