by Car manufacturers have been talking about installing cameras instead of mirrors for several decades. After all, as early as the nineties, prototypes without side mirrors were occasionally shown at car shows.
However, until today, no automotive giant has made this innovation part of mass production. But that day has come!
Lexus has become the first in the world to offer cameras instead of mirrors as an option for a fully mass-produced car, which is the ES sedan.
#gallery-1 {
margin: auto;
}
#gallery-1 .gallery-item {
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
width: 50%;
}
#gallery-1 img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}

From now on, you can buy this particular model without mirrors. The cost of this option is still undisclosed, but it is known to be called the Digital Outer Mirror.
As our friends from TopGeek write, sales of the Lexus ES with the Digital Outer Mirror function will start at the end of October, but initially, this option will only be available to Japanese customers. What are the advantages of cameras instead of mirrors, and how does such a system work – find out more in the post about Digital Outer Mirror.
