In automotive back mirror market, various technologies such as smart rear view mirror and conventional rear view mirror technologies are used in the passenger vehicle, light commercial vehicle, and heavy commercial vehicle applications. The growing demand for safety systems, increase in number of vehicles, standards and laws pertaining to automotive rear view mirrors are creating new opportunities for various automotive back mirror technologies.
Some of the latest technological developments by various countries in the automotive back mirror market are as follows:
- China: Chinese automaker BYD announced all new models will come standard with camera-based digital rearview mirrors. This follows government regulations mandating advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in new vehicles, including blind-spot detection often integrated with smart mirrors. Local companies like Huawei are investing heavily in developing in-car chips specifically for ADAS features.
- Germany: German luxury carmakers like Audi and BMW are leading the charge in Europe for high-tech mirrors. Audi's 2022 Q3 model features a frameless auto-dimming mirror with a parking aid system that utilizes a rearview camera for improved visibility. Additionally, German government safety initiatives are pushing for wider adoption of blind-spot detection and lane departure warning systems, further propelling the smart mirror segment.
- United States: Tesla removed traditional rearview mirrors entirely from their Model 3, relying solely on a center console mounted touchscreen displaying a rear camera feed. This has sparked debate on safety and regulations in the US. However, it highlights the growing acceptance of camera-based rearview systems. In response, US companies like Gentex are developing next-generation smart mirrors with features like night vision and driver drowsiness detection.
- Japan: Denso is focusing on advancements in camera technology for the automotive applications. They're developing high-resolution, wide-dynamic range cameras that provide superior image quality in all lighting conditions. This caters to the growing demand for clear rear visibility, especially in night time driving, a major factor for smart mirror adoption in Japan.
