I rented a car and the rear view mirror is not a mirror at all but rather is a tiny LED screen showing the output of a camera. This is actually fucking terrible because I have no idea where the camera is, therefore I have no idea where this notional "mirror" is meant to be in space and therefore I cannot gauge distances, normally one of the main things you look into a rear view mirror to do
It’s incredible that people will buy this kind of crap for a ton of money!
Working in automotive development I’ve had some experience with these. You can get used to it pretty quickly, to the point where I was able to do a test of a simulated reverse AEB and consistently come within a few centimeters if the target.
Additionally, a lot of these can be turned off and used as a mirror.
Would I prefer a better ‘greenhouse’/better visibility? Yeah, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon. It’s a separate discussion but one I wish the auto industry was having more
