Look closely at any modern, large lorry. No big, rearview mirrors, just tiny cameras. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688793&v=e car4play688786 Mon, 11 May 2026 11:22:23 +0100 jeez that gives me the fear! http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688786&v=e car4play688784 Mon, 11 May 2026 11:14:44 +0100 Taken to a logical and somewhat bizarre conclusion all windows and glass could be replaced by cameras and screens. Most windows remain firmly shut with climate control in use. Cars could be lighter and more economical if all glass replaced by steel or even simple acrylic panels. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688784&v=e car4play688783 Mon, 11 May 2026 10:52:20 +0100 The thinking behind it is that the structural beam the runs across the rear of the roof/top of the back window can restrict rear headroom. So move it rearward, behind rear passengers’ heads. Which is where the rear window would be, and use a camera and monitor where the interior mirror lives. Rear passengers also gain full use of the sunroof, as the glass roof finishes behind them. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688783&v=e car4play688780 Mon, 11 May 2026 08:30:01 +0100 Following one of these yesterday, as it’s got no rear glass , looks like a van conversion. Can’t see the advantage of this idea . http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=688780&v=e
