　　Tesla has its own Model of x using a tiny video camera to replace the rear view mirror, caught on camera image will appear on the electronic touch-screen in the cabin.

　　Now, BMW has joined the ranks of Tesla, advocated by cameras instead of rear-view mirror in the production models.

　　CES 2016 Electronics Show earlier this year, well-known automobile manufacturers BMW I8 concept Mirorless concept cars on display. The car monitoring system consisting of 3 cameras, respectively, is located on the outside rear-view mirror and rear windshield, and projected onto the suspension in the rear-view mirror, HD monitor.

　　BMW I8 Mirorless system concept camera the images can cover a wider angle of rear view, avoiding the danger of "blind spots" for drivers with wide field of vision.

　　Use camera instead of rear-view mirror in addition to improve driving safety. The two exterior mirrors are smaller, so it has better aerodynamics, vehicle power using this technology will also increase.

　　Rear-view mirror is a invented in 1914, to almost 100 years now, and basically haven't changed. Fluid Dynamics engineers, but in this little spent a great deal of thought on the rearview mirror, they strive for excellence to improve the shape of the rear-view mirror to reduce driving resistance – although such improvements, we generally people seem to fail to realize.

　　Now, using camera replacement mirrors to reduce drag. At highway speeds, and if you remove the rear view mirror, can make the car a 5% reduction in air resistance, thus reducing energy consumption.

　　When Tesla started using cameras instead of when the rear-view mirror, United States laws and regulations have not been modified, but now, United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has adopted rules that allow cameras to replace conventional rear-view mirror.

　　Practice of removing the rear-view mirror, very early in the traditional automobile manufacturers appeared in the concept car, first at the 1999 North American auto show Cadillac, it unveiled a concept car no rearview mirror. Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz also started a similar concept, but the biggest problem with this design, from the traffic laws. Technology today, these barriers were finally cleared.

　　BMW Group research and Development Director Elmar Frickenstein mentioned, this technology not only to show concepts used in automotive production in three years, which means that this technology will be put into use in 2019.

　　Still not sure which models the technique will be flown for the first time, but Frickenstein said, upgraded version of the 7-series is equipped with this technology more likely. Frickenstein also said: in the next couple of years, BMW all series will be equipped with this technology.
