Car mirrors are not new, with the increasing complexity of traffic conditions, mirrors are an essential part of the car. Now, with the implementation of regulations related to electronic exterior mirrors, car companies began to focus on electronic mirrors.
From the further advancement of the regulations, to car companies have carried a new model, electronic mirrors seem to begin to enter the scale of the promotion stage. However, in the consumer side is another scene, many users of this wider field of vision, clearer at night, less susceptible to environmental influences and other advantages of electronic mirrors, does not seem to be expected that welcome.
Perhaps there is to see the consumer side of the attitude, a car company concept car equipped with electronic mirrors, after the actual car is canceled this configuration. So, electronic mirrors from the technology trend, whether it will lead the new trend? Electronic rearview mirror era, is it coming? Electronic rear-view mirror scale on the car, there is still a long way to go?
Last July, electronic mirrors in the regulations ushered in a relaxation. 2023 July 1, the new national standard GB15084-2022 "motor vehicle indirect visual field device performance and installation requirements," the official implementation of the new "camera-monitor system", "mirror and CMS dual-function system" and so on. Functional system" and so on. This is considered to be a major change for automotive exterior mirrors.
The rearview mirror is one of the oldest parts of the automobile. They are like the eyes of the driver outside the car, assisting in safe driving. Of course, the traditional rearview mirror in the field of vision and under the bad weather, there are certain problems. For example, it is difficult to solve the problem of blind spots, and the problem of blurred vision under bad weather is prominent, which is also one of the important factors that bring traffic accidents.
The emergence of electronic mirrors can be a good complement to the shortcomings of traditional mirrors. The combination of camera and monitor is used to replace the traditional optical mirrors, and the external camera is used to collect images, which are then processed to display the external environment in the cockpit.
The advantage of electronic mirrors is that they can provide a wider field of vision and clearer images, while reducing wind resistance through optimized design, and even integrating a wealth of ADAS features to make driving safer and more comfortable. Data show that the cross-sectional area of the electronic rearview mirror can be reduced to half of the traditional glass exterior mirror or even lower, thus reducing the wind resistance coefficient, to achieve the effect of saving fuel and electricity.
Numerous technical advantages make electronic mirrors attractive, but they also challenge the user's driving habits to a certain extent.
From a theoretical point of view, after the electronic rearview mirror adopts a wide-angle camera, it will have a wider field of view compared with the traditional rearview mirror. That is to say, theoretically, with the help of the electronic system, the vehicle's perspective blind spot will be eliminated, and if more cameras are added, the vehicle's all-around observation can be accomplished, which has a significant effect on the safety of driving, getting in and out of the car, and even the safety of parking safety enhancement.
The traditional rearview mirror, despite the mechanical connection, is no problem in terms of the maturity of the entire product. The electronic rear-view mirror may be more technologically advanced, but it must ensure that the system it carries does not die, the image captured by the camera can not appear frame loss, lag, delay or current interference, black screen and other small probability of failure.
Of course, despite the various problems faced, from the policy point of view, the popularization of electronic mirrors, is the general direction of the future. The introduction of the new national standard is to carry electronic mirrors on the road for vehicles legally paved the way, car companies have also solved the problem of electronic mirrors regulations. Electronic mirrors will not completely replace the traditional rear-view mirror, the two will be in a long time in the coexistence state.
