Ordinary rear-view mirrors in vehicles can be counted. DGT wants in the future HD cameras and screens replace mirrors that most cars turn on each side so that the driver can observe what is happening around him, since smart ones include a number of advantages that could guarantee greater safety on the road.
Mirrors with cameras that DGT wants to implement, in particular, can give more information compared to conventional mirrors. Mainly because they include an ultra wide-angle sensor. This lens, in particular, collects more information about the environment and therefore avoids the blind spots that drivers sometimes notice when performing a manoeuvre.
DGT stresses that cameras are like a rearview mirror can adapt to lightso that the driver can clearly see the rear of the car even at night. They are also capable of detecting and filtering the headlights of other vehicles so as not to obstruct the view. They are also waterproof and more compact than conventional mirrors.
Information from the cameras is sent to some screens inside the car previously approved by the DGT. These panels are sized to allow the driver to view content without having to approach them. They can also adjust brightness or contrast to avoid glare at night. They are usually tactile, allowing you to quickly and accurately switch between different angles.
Smart mirrors, yes. they don’t have a mandatory date yet. However, the DGT is already working on their future standardization and currently recommends their use. Unfortunately, today only some high-end cars are equipped with this technology.
DGT to make ADAS mandatory this year
Something DGT will make sure to bring to this year’s cars is ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems). This is a series of car equipment designed to assist the driver and improve the safety of car luggage.
ADAS DGT systems include rear cameras with cross-motion detection or a black box capable of receiving vehicle information. Same way rear seat belt alarm or blocking the vehicle itself in the event of a positive driver test using a breathalyzer. All of them will become mandatory from next July. They will save more than 25,000 lives between this year and 2038, according to DGT.
