DIGITAL EYE

摘要

On 18 June 2016 the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) passed an amendment to Regulation 46 allowing camera monitor systems (CMS) to replace wing mirrors. There are strict guidelines regarding the amount of light CMS must generate in all conditions from daylight to night-time, its ability to deliver a suitable image in all weather conditions, positioning, and independence from driver interference -namely switching it off. Daimler launched the first CMS for trucks, dubbed MirrorCam, last September (pictured, right). Its supplier, Bosch/MEKRA Lang, will also deliver MirrorCam to Nikola Motor Company for its new Nikola Two truck. A spokesperson for Bosch says that the "digital mirror camera system is going into production" this summer.
