Mirror cam system
for the best views
For drivers of commercial vehicles, being able to see behind them is vital for safety. Bosch’s camera-based solution now not only replaces the two large mirrors on either side, but also features additional benefits thanks to its innovative technology. In the Mirror cam system, video sensors are located directly on the driver’s cab with displays integrated into the cab itself. Eliminating the side mirrors both improves the driver’s forward view and reduces wind resistance, thus cutting fuel consumption by up to 2 percent.
An eye on the situation
The system’s digital technology makes it possible to have a situation-specific display: when the truck is driving on the highway, the driver can see further behind the vehicle, while in cities the angle of view is made as large as possible to provide greater safety, and enhanced contrast improves visibility during night driving. Once again, an innovative Bosch solution is in the limelight at the IAA.
