Archived from groups: alt>autos (more info?)
All cars made these days, from the Tata Nano to the Mercedes S-Class,
all have side mirrors to help the driver see behind the cars. I
propose that a passive optical system (i.e. fiber optics or lenses and
mirrors) or an active system (i.e. cameras) be used instead of these
mirrors. This would improve the coefficient of drag of the car, and
also, it would add less "appendages" to the car which has a higher
likelihood of shearing off in city parking.

Why hasn't this been done yet? It shouldn't cost more than xenon
lights.

the technology is too expensive. Cameras are more realistic and are starting to be seen in high-end vehicles (bimmer etc.)

If you think about it more, just installing cameras for one car is already expensive. Mass production is definitely impossible unless you'd prefer low quality cameras that will be more of a problem or just stick to mirrors...

Cameras are too expensive. Sometimes they will lag then boom you hit the car next to you.

yeah.. camera is too expensive not everybody can afford to have it. yeah technology offers too much help in our lives but still gave us some problems that makes our simple life complicated. instead of replacing the side mirror why not have a regular check up of your auto body parts in this way you will have a safe drive.

For me, people will not embrace that kind of advanced technology now. Its too expensive and not practical if you just want to use a car to drive around.
