Nissan is developing a system that will eliminate blind spots from around the vehicle with a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding area displayed on a central monitor.
The rear view system available on some Nissan models eliminates the worst blind spot during reversing – what’s beneath the rear window – but there’s a second blind spot along both sides of the car. To eliminate this, side mounted cameras need to be fitted as they have been to the Presage model on sale in Japan since June 2003.
Now Nissan is testing front mounted cameras. The driver sees an image on the dashboard mounted monitor as if he or she were looking down onto the car which shows up everything around it.
Cameras mounted at the front and rear and on both sides take pictures of the surrounding road surface, which are synthesized by an image processing technique into one view that is shown on a central display. The system is especially helpful when parking, enabling the driver to steer easily and precisely into a parking space.
