"Should automakers succeed in getting the rules changed, we could see interior mirrors replaced by screens, as seen on Audi’s R8 etron concept and R18 etron race car. Combined with camera-based systems for exterior mirrors, automakers could completely eliminate blind spots by using a wide angle lens and image processing to provide a far wider field of vision than traditional mirrors. And they can place the screens where it’s most easily seen by the driver–as opposed to mirrors, which must be positioned to afford the best rearward view."
