So it's getting common for hgv type vehicles to have small cameras and monitors instead of mirrors.
Clever stuff. Saves having a big expensive mirror stuck out of the side of the cab and can be made to follow the rear of a trailer when reversing. Etc.
Surely for tractors and telehandlers it could be an excellent option. No big mirrors to catch on hedges and other obstacles. No rain or frost making mirrors nearly useless. No banging your head getting in the cab. Having the ability for it to follow a trailer as it reverses.
And the big one is telehandlers. You could basically see through the boom so there is no blind spot.
I assume some downsides to the technology somewhere but seems agriculture would really benefit.
