This decision of Japan will cause car mirror thieves to

In recent years, automotive designers are always looking for ways to eliminate rearview mirrors on concept cars, typically BMW Vision Next 100 or i8 Mirrorless. Meanwhile, in the real world, things happen differently. Automobile manufacturers have begun to equip larger-sized exterior mirrors to help the driver increase the visibility of the rear as well as the sides of the car while meeting safety standards.

Of course, saying so does not mean that cars are not mirrors that idea has no future. In fact, there was a country that thought about bringing non-mirror cars into practical use , pioneering as Japan.

Japan has become the first country in the world to decide to allow automobile circulation using cameras instead of traditional rearview mirrors.

In June, the Japanese government decided to allow cars to use cameras instead of traditional rearview mirrors. This decision promises to open a new business for technology companies and suppliers.

Not only is it profitable for technology companies, the camera system instead of rearview mirrors also has practical advantages. First, the camera instead of the rearview mirror will reduce air resistance, thereby increasing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Even the disappearance of rearview mirrors can make cars look more beautiful.

Most importantly, the camera can provide a wider viewing angle, eliminating blind spots for the driver. In addition, the camera will increase visibility even in dark or rainy conditions.

BMW Vision Next 100 is one concept car without a rearview mirror.

Ichikoh will be one of the first companies to provide electronic cameras instead of car mirrors. Ichikoh's system will be released in August this year as Smart Rear View Monitor . Ichikoh estimates that by 2023, about 29% of new cars sold in Japan will use cameras instead of traditional rearview mirrors.

Currently outside Japan, no government has allowed the use of cameras in place of rearview mirrors. However, if successful in Japan, this idea will certainly soon spread in the future. If used in Vietnam, cars using cameras will make "mirror hackers" to "cry".
