After more than 100 years of development, every configuration and function on the car is very useful. The rearview mirror is the most basic configuration on the car, but also the most frequent device used by the owner when driving, many car owners think that the rearview mirror must exist, if the car cancels the rearview mirror, the owner can not observe the specific situation behind.
In fact, the rearview mirror is not a mandatory configuration of the car, and many countries have introduced new traffic regulations to cancel the rearview mirror of the car. India canceled the design of car rearview mirrors many years ago, and later Japan also introduced relevant regulations to cancel the rearview mirrors of cars.
Japan decided to cancel the rearview mirrors of cars as early as 2016, and it can drive normally without rearview mirrors. Many Chinese people may wonder, the car without rearview mirrors owner can not observe the real situation around, so driving on the road is not very dangerous?
Although Japan has eliminated the rearview mirrors on cars, it has replaced them with other methods. When Japan introduced regulations to eliminate rearview mirrors, it was mandatory for all cars to be equipped with a 360 panoramic navigation system. The front and rear of the car are equipped with a 360 panoramic camera, and when reversing and parking, the camera can shoot the surrounding picture, and the owner can detect the condition of the car.
There are also some high-end car companies that have installed more cameras on the car, and the camera on the side of the body can assist in shooting the car behind the car, and transmit the captured picture to the central control screen in the car. Even if the driver does not look at the rearview mirror, he can see the real situation behind the car through the central control screen, which is very safe when changing lanes.
Why should I cancel the rearview mirror?
First, easy parking.
Japan is a very small island country with limited resources, many roads are very narrow, and the parking space is also very small, so Japanese car owners need to be very careful when parking. The rearview mirrors that come with the car occupy the space on both sides of the car, affecting the owner to park in a narrow place.
After the removal of the rearview mirror of the vehicle, the owner is very convenient when parking, and sometimes even if the car is parked in a narrow alley or a narrow parking space, there is no worry about the rearview mirror hitting the obstacle.
Second, reduce fuel consumption.
When the car is driving fast on the high speed, it will be subject to a certain wind resistance, and the high degree of bulging of the rearview mirror is easy to increase the wind resistance and increase the fuel consumption, and the cancellation of the rearview mirror of the car can reduce the fuel consumption accordingly.
Disadvantages of removing the rearview mirror:
First, some cars cancel the rearview mirror after the camera to replace, although the panoramic camera can also shoot clearly around the car, but these cameras are very expensive, in case the camera is damaged, the cost of repair and replacement is particularly high.
Second, the information feedback from the instrument is not as comprehensive as the owner's observation, the camera may fail, in case the camera jump is not timely, the owner can not observe the rear of the car in time, may bring safety hazards.
Editor's Comments:
After hundreds of years of development, the rearview mirror is an inseparable part of the car, with the rearview mirror owner can observe the rear of the car condition, so as to drive safely. Japan, India and other countries to cancel the rearview mirror may bring some convenience, but from some points of view there are also many disadvantages, which is also the reason why China has not cancelled the rearview mirror, we think the rearview mirror of the car should not be canceled?
