Aston Martin has created a hybrid-type salon mirror

New from Aston Martin, a cabin hybrid mirror, will be presented the other day. This will happen at the CES 2020 event, which will host Las Vegas.

The new product is called Camera Monitoring System. This is the fruit of collaboration between British company Aston Martin and the brand Gentex Corporation, which is engaged in the production of automotive components.

The basis of the element is the cabin display Full Display Mirror. Inside it is integrated LCD display. The video from three cameras is displayed immediately. One of them is located on the roof of the car, the other two are built into the mirrors on the sides.

The owner can customize the picture as he pleases. Firstly, you can adjust the position of the mirrors. Secondly, the image itself can be combined in different ways, interchanged, reduced or increased image size. The viewing angle changes automatically, adapting to the needs of the person driving.

The creators set a goal: to develop a mirror, when looking at which the driver will receive much more information than when working with a conventional element. This increases the level of comfort and safety, as a person does not need to shake his head in order to assess the situation on the road. FDM functions not only thanks to automation. A part can function as a normal mirror. If the equipment fails, the driver will not be “blinded”.
