Background: The Blind-Spot Safety Gap
Despite the growth of radar sensors, cameras, and lane-departure systems, motorists still rely on convex mirrors that distort object size and distance—creating uncertainty and contributing to side-swipe and merging accidents.
Despite the growth of radar sensors, cameras, and lane-departure systems, motorists still rely on convex mirrors that distort object size and distance—creating uncertainty and contributing to side-swipe and merging accidents.
- Camera-monitor and radar systems help, but optical mirrors remain the primary line of sight for drivers including most including fleet vehicles. An accurate imaging blind spot mirror is crucial!!
True View™ accurate imaging blind spot mirror.Patented: US 11,305,693
Blind spot collisions are more common than you might think:
"National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration statistics report that over 840,000 blind spot accidents occur each year." |
|
Accurate 3-D real time blind spot imaging is crucial, yet difficult and expensive to achieve... Until now!
Radar Actuated visual indicators warn you of approaching vehicles, during blind spot occurrences; a major plus over the unaided cars exterior rear view mirror. They don't tell you what's coming, or what size vehicle, or distance or relative speed is of the approaching vehicle.
CAUTION! |
Fish Eye blind spot mirrors expand field of vision providing real time 3-D visual ques of approaching vehicles during blind spot occurrences. More than can be said of the costlier radar based technology. The one critical draw back is image distortion of size, distance and speed of the approaching vehicle.

TRUE VIEW HIGH PERFORMANCE BLIND SPOT MIRROR OPTIMIZES SAFETY DURING LANE CHANGES
True View with patented accuvision™ technology employs an adjustable angle flat mirrored lens coupled with the main OEM mirror providing real time accurate 3-D driver side blind spot imaging!
Follow the Science.
True View combines with your car's mirror to create a dual planed adjustable viewing angle compound mirror

Problem: What are blind spots?
Driver side blind spots are caused when the position of the approaching vehicle causes its reflection from the driver side rear view mirror to veer in front of the drivers line of sight before the approaching vehicle moves into the drivers peripheral vision.
|
Solution: True View optical precision
True view with it's adjustable angle flat lens redirects the approaching vehicles wayward reflection back into the drivers line of sight in real time with accurate 3-D imaging. It out performs both convex blind spot mirrors and camera monitor systems (CMS) in this application!

True View flat angle adjusted mirror redirects reflected image into drivers' line of sight (dashed line) overcoming OEM mirror blind spot with accurate imaging!
|
During blind-spot occurrence when approaching vehicle is behind driver's peripheral vision True View's flat lens at offset angle from OEM mirror redirects reflection of approaching vehicle back into drivers line of sight. True View is the only blind-spot technology which provides accurate real time 3-D imaging blind spot detection, BSD.

Along with safe lane changes True View has another important application for insuring your ongoing safety as a motorist:
Exiting from your parallel parked vehicle into oncoming traffic on busy streets. With True View's accurate imaging you can easily and accurately spot and gauge the distance of approaching cars, trucks and cyclists even when your vehicle is still. This allows you to safely exit your driver side door while parallel parked on busy streets. It also make life safer for cyclists! Your safety is worth the investment in True View. |
· Improves driver judgment of distance and speed in the blind zone.
· Pairs seamlessly with radar-actuated signals and camera/monitor systems already in the market.
· Requires no power or software integration - installation is as simple as a mirror swap.
· Delivers immediate ROI for fleets by reducing side-swipe collisions and liability
True View is a high performance blind spot mirror for those willing to invest in their driver safety.
True View offers a simple low cost easy to install intuitive use accurate blind spot solution. This is also is a great addition to product lines to offer accurate imaging blind spot mirrors augmenting high tech offerings.

Here is the deal with Camera Monitor Systems CMS compared to flat rear view mirrors:

In short rear view mirrors and CMS both have advantages and disadvantages:
CAMERA MONITOR SYSTEMS (CMS)
1) Image detection from directly behind the vehicle while backing up is better suited for CMS than for mirrors.
2) Cameras have more viable placement options around a vehicle exterior than mirrors. The corresponding monitors can thus provide imaging from a more viewing angles than mirrors. However the monitors only provide 2-D imaging and there are few viable placement options for monitors under driving conditions. Also drivers can not process multiple simultaneous monitor images during split second decision driving scenarios.
MIRRORS
1) Flat mirrors allow you to observe with binocular vision, preserving 3D clues, such as parallax. A camera projects a single-viewpoint onto a screen giving a 2-D projection. Lacking critical depth perception.
2) Flat mirrors allow you to see more by slightly shifting your viewing position, increasing your field of vision.
3) A flat mirror has much better contrast, color, and resolution than any camera and screen combo.
4) A flat mirror has effectively zero latency. A camera and display has a time lag on the order of tens of milliseconds, which could conceivably make a difference in emergency situations.
5) Cameras are easily obstructed during bad weather where the lenses are blurred with rain, mud and salt.
6) Flat mirrors work during inclement weather. Yes frost can occur and heaters resolve this.
7) CMS are susceptible to headlights causing "blooming" blotting out the monitor.
According to studies from the National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHSTA) vehicle testing consumers showed preference to a hybrid mirror and high tech blind spot detection package. This could include radar actuated and camera monitor systems. True View seamlessly integrates with both aftermarket and OEM blind spot detection systems
SUMMARY
A flat mirror is cheap, simple, passive blind spot imaging technology that works. Their only failure mode is breaking on impact. Camera and screens are expensive, complex active devices with multiple failure modes.
