better rear view, less wind resistance by getting rid of side mirrors, and so - safety and gas mileage increased. (volume warning, annoying extra loud music)



the Federal Motor Safety Association (FMCSA) approved a request that will allow trucks to operate with their two rear-vision mirrors replaced by camera technology.

the Mirror Eye camera system would provide truck drivers with a host of benefits, including greater field of view and the elimination of blind spots. Stoneridge even claimed that trucks equipped with their camera systems would get better fuel economy than trucks with rear-view mirrors because their system was more aerodynamic.
