It happens often cross them at various international auto salons the concept car with no rear view mirrors , such as Mazda RX-Vision in the photo above, given in Tokyo last December: not having to comply with the approval standards, the show car can afford to replace them with cameras small , shapes incredibly aerodynamic, which send the screens in the passenger what is happening behind the car (in the photo below, the Opel GT concept). The aesthetic result is remarkable, to the delight of all the most creative designers.
The current legislation does not yet allow road use of such devices; However, things could change in a few years, as reported by Automotive News , the Japanese authorities have given the green light to ‘ use, already this year, the cameras instead of conventional door mirrors. A choice that could affect the administration soon US and trigger a Global domino effect within a few months. Especially because this technology has been advanced by the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations , the meeting at the United Nations where they identify the technical innovation for cars of the future.

The Japanese industry mirrors is ready to leap in technology: for example, the Ichikoh , for decades a company active in the supply of automotive mirrors, has already started the production of new components; to Ichikoh they are also convinced that already in 2023 29% of new cars sold in Japan will be equipped with digital mirrors ; the Japanese also point to import them into the Old Continent and in America with the French partner Valeo .
The benefits of this technology go far beyond the mere aesthetic effect: weight reduction guaranteed by the use of tiny cameras and the consequent improvement in aerodynamic terms will ensure a reduction in fuel consumption. Also the images generated by these systems can cover a wider viewing angle and improve the perception of the traffic in low visibility conditions.
