Whatever, put cameras in and have them bluetooth to my Apple toothbrush and save it to the iCloud, fine, but "replace" the mirrors? As in rely entirely on cameras? Why? Leave the mirrors there. There's no reason not to have mirrors on the car. Extremely cheap and reliable feedback system that never malfunctions. Putting new tech in cars is all well and good right up to the point where they start creating unnecessary failure points by getting rid of solutions that already work.
It's like when they started getting rid of aux inputs in favor of USB and/or bluetooth. Why? An aux input is such a trivial thing that would cost nothing to implement, takes up almost no space on the dashboard, and always works. Granted, most current devices don't use aux cables (which I also think is a mistake for the same reasons), but that's only been the case very recently, and car companies started getting rid of them years ago when plenty of devices still had them. Plus, they're still useful if you just want to plug an audio source into a car quickly and easily with zero chance of failure, even if you'd have to use an adapter. It's nice to have the option to use USB or bluetooth, but getting rid of the aux altogether is nonsense. Getting rid of mirrors? Nonsense and potentially dangerous.
