UNVEILED: REAR VISION VIDEO

Traditional rear-view mirrors have been around for a long time now. The very first ones were clunky and heavy to move around, but were then replaced with a plastic outer-body, which had the day/night function with a flick of a switch. Currently, they have auto-dimming functions through a light sensor. Cadillac wants to take another step towards advancing the rear-view mirror. Instead of a mirror, Cadillac uses a rear-mounted camera to display objects behind a car on a wide 1280 x 240 screen. This increases the rear vision by 300 percent, and could decrease the blind-spot zone for drivers. For those who prefer a more vintage rear-view mirror, Cadillac also allows drivers to switch back to a regular mirror.
