Real-time view of the rear of a large truck… Smart mirror

Ford Europe has developed a smart mirror that allows real-time video viewing using cameras placed behind trucks and vans. It is wider than ordinary mirrors and provides a view in HD quality.

Driving without seeing the rear is anxious not only in the side mirrors, but also whether there are pedestrians or children behind when parking. Bikes or motorcycles often approach while driving or waiting for a signal. There are always a lot of electric bicycles and electric scooters running in Europe, so this risk always exists. In the 2019 survey, it is estimated that 70% of urban traffic accidents are those with pedestrians and street traffic. Unlike the ratio of suburban streets and highways, it is overwhelming.

Smart mirror was developed to reduce this misfortune even a little. As a result, there is a possibility of lowering the cost of insurance, reducing the risk of loss of time, loss of productivity, and cost of repairing an accidental breakdown. Related information can be found here.
