True View Part 1
True View™ (US patent 11,305,693) is the only accurate imaging blind spot mirror for enhanced driver safety. Dangerous blind spots occur when the position of the approaching vehicle causes its reflection to veer in front of the driver's line of sight before the approaching vehicle moves within the drivers peripheral vision.

Blind spot detection started with:

1) convex mirrors to widen the drivers field of vision to see approaching vehicles when in the car mirrors blind spot. They offered real time blind spot imaging augmenting unaided OEM exterior rear view mirrors. However the image of the approaching vehicles is grossly distorted-appearing to be further away and smaller than they really are and approaching slower than they really are. This misleads the driver when split second decisions may be required and still requires looking over the shoulder to safely make lane changes, taking your eyes off the road ahead .

2) Next came radar actuated indicator lights which do not provide any imaging of the approaching vehicle. Looking over the shoulder is still needed for safe lane changes taking the drivers eyes off the road ahead.

3) Now camera monitor systems- CMS enter the mix. For over 10 years Tesla motors has been lobbying National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ban the requirement for rear view mirrors on vehicles in favor of camera monitor systems. While NHTSA says the technology shows promise they cite lingering safety concerns* and rear view mirrors are required. *https://lnkd.in/eNKu62JE

The "either or" argument of mirrors OR CMS overlooks the advantages of each approach and combining them for optimum performance. I believe CMS are a viable augmentation to rear view mirrors-both OEM and blind spot mirrors once the lingering CMS safety issues are resolved. The safety issues relate to the drivers ability to effectively engage and interact with the CMS technology, this being a human factors issue. Having multiple camera angles sounds good on the surface yet processing all this information especially during split second decision making scenarios can be a full blown distraction. True Views accurate real time blind spot imaging offers clear advantages over convex blind spot mirrors and offers better depth perception over CMS monitors.** **https://lnkd.in/e86SJMZd

CMS proponents including electric car manufacturers cite aerodynamic drag caused by the protruding OEM mirror housings as a reason to phase out of mirrors. Simple design changes on mirror housing contours can significantly reduce drag coefficient. If this is really an issue than the body styling could readily integrate the mirror housing into the body contour in a more stream lined fashion in the first place. True View™ provides a low cost intuitive and effective solution to accurate blind spot detection with or without CMS augmentation.

Simple solution for collision avoidance during blind spot occurrences

A Better, Clearer Way to See Your Blind Spot: Why Drivers Choose True View. The only accurate imaging blind spot mirror available.

Lane changes shouldn’t feel like guesswork — but for many drivers, blind-spot checks are still one of the most stressful moments on the road. Even with today’s mix of warning lights, cameras, and tiny convex “spotter” mirrors, many drivers still struggle to judge how close another car really is. According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) over 825,000 blind spot accidents occur each year. Even with all this blind spot technology commonly in use.

True View solves that problem by giving drivers something surprisingly rare:
a true-to-life, undistorted view of the blind spot.
Unlike curved (convex) mirrors that shrink and distort vehicles, True View uses a precision flat mirror to preserve real size, real distance, and real closing speed. This means the car in the next lane looks exactly as it should — not miniaturized or pushed visually farther away.

Why This Matters
Human eyes rely on natural visual cues to decide if a merge is safe:
How big does the approaching vehicle look?
Is it getting larger quickly (looming)?
How fast is it closing the gap?

Convex mirrors remove these cues.
Camera systems often flatten them.
Radar systems only tell you something is “there.”
True View preserves all the visual information your brain uses to judge lane-change safety.
Built for Real-World Use
True View isn’t a stick-on plastic accessory.
It features:
Rugged stainless-steel housing
A durable flat optical lens
Hardware sized for trucks, vans, SUVs, RVs, and commercial vehicles
Drivers in work trucks, delivery vans, RVs, and daily commuters all benefit from the same advantage: a clearer, more confident view of the next lane.
How True View Compares:

Convex Mirrors
Pros: Cheap, wide field of view
Cons: Distortion makes vehicles appear smaller and farther away
Result: Drivers may see a car but misjudge how close it is
Camera Monitor Systems
Pros: Wide view, good for parking/night
Cons: Flatten depth, rely on screens, affected by glare and weather
Result: Harder to judge true distance and speed
Radar Blind-Spot Sensors
Pros: Helpful alerts; proven crash-reduction benefits
Cons: Alerts don’t show you what’s actually there
Result: Great for detection, not for visual confirmation
True View
Pros: Real-size image, zero distortion, no electronics, no latency
Result: More confident lane changes using natural visual cues
A Simple Upgrade That Makes Driving Feel Safer
True View helps drivers:
Judge distance more accurately
See actual closing speed
Reduce stress on busy highways
Improve safety with a rugged, low-tech, high-clarity solution

Sometimes the best innovation is the one that restores what drivers have been missing — a clear, honest reflection.
If you want a safer and more confident lane-change experience, True View delivers something modern tech can’t always match: a naturally accurate blind-spot view. To find out more about True View visit: https://lnkd.in/eARTw6kU
