IoD: Left/Right View Rear Cameras in Cars for Backing Out of Parking Spot

  • 아티클

This probably falls into the "I just haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it exists" catagory... Why don't cars have cameras pointing to the left and right of the bumper so that you can see oncoming vehicles when you are pulling out of a parking spot and blinded by two large HumVee's with tinted windows blocking your view. I've seen purely rear view cameras to make parallel parking easier, but nothing for backing out of your general parking space.  Sure, accidents could be avoided if people driving in parking lots did so around 5-10MPH, but generally these people seem to speed through around 20MPH.  It's those people I want to be able to see coming and I'm sure my bumper would have a good view before it gets tagged. :-)

    I think the idea is to back into a parking space in a parking lot, viewing the camera image if you can't see through your own rear window. When pulling out, you'll be driving forwards, so at least you'll have a chance to see the car that hits your front bumper.

    Not sure I would go there. There are really only a few scenarios that I would really care to support. Having a whole CarPC would seem like overkill. Plus, it would not pass the WAT (Wife Acceptance Test).

    I need to change my blog subtitle. I'm actually a PM on the Devdiv Community Team. The quotes are really to signify that one of my jobs is to evagelize the community to internal people who don't yet participate in the community.

    Got a patent dated 30th march 2005 for moving cameras on sides of vehicles, front and back, to aid visibility when coming out of a parking space. Couldn't get fixed camera as patents numerous. Car companies probably finding a way to get around it.
