AUDI prepares a numerical answer to a question no one has asked
The German brand unveiled its latest hi-tech gadget – the "virtual exterior mirrors", which simply translates as a digital mirror. -up will appear on the Audi e-tron electric SUV. The green family car will be the first vehicle in the world to feature digital mirrors when it goes into production in 2020.
The Audi replaces traditional side mirrors with a set of small cameras, one on each side of the vehicle. The cameras then project the previously viewed image via the mirrors on the corner of the door stuck in a prism between the window, the door handle and the dashboard.
Viewed through a 7.0-inch OLED screen, the picture can be changed the situation with three parameters: driving on freeway, turn and parking.
Users can also change the field of view by moving the camera and zooming in and out.
The Audi e-tron takes the digital experience of the brand the next level with a fully digital dashboard and two screens in the center console where all the functions of the car including the settings from the side camera, are controlled.
Digital mirrors are not a new concept. Several models are equipped with a digital rearview mirror, but the world's first digital rearview mirrors will dramatically change the look of future cars and ease the stress of driving in narrow streets.
When the Audi goes on sale, it will be a real competitor of the Tesla Model X with a range of over 400 km and a range of 30 minutes
