Lexus LF- No side view mirrors

RaceBlood · 04-12-2011, 05:21 PM

The NY Auto show has a Lexus LF, and it has only small cameras mounted at apex of door/window/A pillar...rather slick.

probably just something for the car show. acura did the same thing for their 2nd gen TL concept.

It has been in several concept vehicles including the GM electric skate thingy. Doubt the DOT would approve it though.

the hell? a car with no side mirror? thats like a human with ears chopped of. This car will end up joining a group of traveling circus freaks

You kids are probably too young to remember, but side mirrors were an option back in the day, and that was just for the driver's side.

Too funny; I can't even remember when seat belts were optional.

Ford had the same thing on a mondeo concept. It's technology they wont use yet for road cars, just concepts.
