For the Future Wing and interior mirrors will be replaced by an innovative camera monitor system which includes Digital Mirrors - Dave
Three cameras from Continental’s product range are installed inside the test vehicle, and a different aperture angle is the technical difference between these and the Surround View cameras. Instead of the rear-view mirror, the driver has two monitors with organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) oriented in the usual viewing directions and displaying what is happening at the rear and sides of the vehicle. It gives the driver a wider field of vision, the system eliminates glare, provides traffic situation detection with driver assistance functions, is much less susceptible to dirt and dust, makes damaged wing mirrors a thing of the past and gives drivers better vision in poor light and rain. Vehicle fuel consumption is also reduced (less wind resistance) and there is less noise from the wind.

Traditional wing mirrors are beginning to be replaced with all-seeing hi-tech video cameras and screens such as on the Audi e-tron which is beginning to get more of a mention now and is the first mass-production car to ditch conventional reflective mirrors and replace them with a live video stream on screens inside the vehicle. Instead of the driver looking through their windows into wing mirrors, these have been replaced with streamlined side-mounted video cameras and a live feed.
