However, trucks using the system still legally need traditional mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>The MirrorEye system, for example, equips a vehicle with five cameras, sensors and three digital displays inside the cab\u00a0in the form of two 12-in. vertical monitors attached to the A-pillars on both sides. It also adds a 7-in. screen that mounts high in the center of the cab \u2014 like a smaller vehicle\u2019s rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>The cameras are mounted on the exterior of the vehicle, near where traditional rearview mirrors are, to provide a similar field of view. Stone\u00adridge says its CMS delivers a 25% larger field of view that eliminates common blind spots.<\/p>\n<p>NHTSA has said that such a system could come with safety benefits, such as improved situational awareness for truck drivers that would lead to reduced sideswipes. Researchers have surveyed commercial drivers using supplemental CMS and found neutral and potentially positive findings concerning safety-critical events and drivers\u2019 forward attention, according to NHTSA, which adds that no side-view mirrors mean more aerodynamic trucks and better MPG.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are potential challenges. For example, drivers indicated that the glare produced from the system\u2019s electronic visual displays was \u201ctoo bright and affected their ability to see details in the forward roadway\u201d and that \u201cglare from the visual displays could be uncomfortable at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetowner.com\/technology\/article\/21121303\/high-tech-video-could-mean-the-end-of-vehicle-mirrors\">story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trucks without mirrors could be OEM-installed by 2025, providing drivers with a larger field of view and fewer blind spots, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
