New HD Video Streaming Rear-view Mirror

An exciting development in the world of automobile technology gives the new Cadillac CT6 a big upgrade to the rear-view mirror. The full-size sedan that will be unveiled at the 2015 New York Auto Show will feature a new HD video streaming rear-view mirror that will change the act of checking your blind spot forever.

Cadillac CT6 drivers won’t be tasked with leaning over the back of their seat to see what is hiding in their blind spot. A switch at the base of their rear-view mirror will enable the mirror to become a streaming video of the rear of the car. The benefits to this development include being able to see without passengers, headrests and the vehicle itself getting in the way. The new Cadillac would give the driver an estimated 300% increase in field of vision behind the car.

To get rid of the chance that the upgraded mirror could be negatively impacted by weather conditions, there will be a water-shedding hydrophobic coating applied to the camera. This, along with the ability to reduce glare and see crisper images in low-light situations, makes the CT6’s mirror a real dream for any driver.

While the mirror is being introduced on the Cadillac CT6 this year, the jump from mirrors to cameras for the more affordable vehicles cannot be far behind. For now, Cadillac will face regulatory hurdles in getting the system approved, but the technology is not foreign to the automotive industry. Cars in Europe are already being built with cameras in place instead of side-view mirrors. The US is catching up, and the CT6 is definitely a step in an exciting direction.

The Cadilac CT6 will go on sale in the fall of 2015. If you have any questions or want to be one of the first to test-drive and own a Cadillac CT6, contact our friendly and professional staff at Palmen GM, in Kenosha WI.
