Due to construction of the car, driving the car when the owner side and rear of the vehicle is difficult to directly observe, within this time, the exterior mirrors become an indispensable tool for the owners, and its importance is self-evident.

After the car was invented a long time, and did not install the rearview mirror, until 1921, it began mass production rearview mirror, rearview mirror thus officially born, and gradually become a very practical car configuration.

However, the Japanese auto industry as a powerful nation, but recent plan to abolish the rearview mirror. It is reported that Japan's adoption of a new law that allows no cars on the road mirrors, and side mirrors also will be replaced. Is expected to 2023, the Japanese will be 29?f the car will be canceled rearview mirror.

Why Japan plans to cancel the rearview mirror it? The main time because the car side mirrors though has brought convenience to the driver, but it also brings some problems.

One problem: drag

Car at high speeds, a part of the fuel consumed in overcoming air resistance. If you cancel the rearview mirror, it can reduce the resistance of cars to a certain extent, while reducing fuel consumption, but also reduce the noise when the car at high speed.

Second, the blind spot.

That is the biggest role in the rearview mirror to observe the road conditions and the rear side of the vehicle, however, it is not satisfactory, there is a blind spot so many drivers still may feel fear.

This time the reason why Japan canceled mandatory rear-view mirror of the car, because to see the use of rear, side and 360-degree panoramic camera images and other new technologies in the vehicle.

Think: compared with the rearview mirror, the advantages of car video system is self-evident, perhaps seeing these advantages, Japan's regulations only allow OEMs to make adjustments according to the actual situation.
