摘要

The system has one or multiple back cameras (4-6) for receiving an image of a rear region behind a vehicle. An inner space camera (1) e.g. black and white camera, detects a head position of a vehicle driver. A computer (3) evaluates the received image to determine a portion of a mirror image picture in dependence of the detected head position. An electronic display (7) i.e. LCD, comprises an electronic rearview mirror and displays the evaluated image. The electronic rearview mirror is arranged at a typical position of an inner rearview mirror or outer rearview mirrors (15, 16).
