Companies accelerating mirrorless car development www3.nhk.or.jp
Auto parts firms and electronics manufacturers are accelerating development of mirrorless car technology.
The Japanese government authorized development of mirrorless cars in June.
A camera-monitoring system replaces rearview and sideview mirrors in such vehicles. It allows drivers to check their surroundings by looking at images on the monitor. The system is expected to reduce blind spots.
German auto parts maker Continental has made a prototype car that uses cameras attached to the doors.
The company hopes to put the car on the market in 2 years.
Panasonic has also started developing a camera monitoring system.
Rearview mirror maker Murakami, the Japanese market leader, is developing a system that allows drivers to check images captured by cameras on the sides and the rear of a car in a single display. When the cameras don't work, the display automatically becomes a mirror.
Analysts say companies face the challenge of reducing the cost of commercializing this technology.
