How intelligent is the rearview mirror?

Intelligentization has been popularized in all parts of the car. Smart tire pressure, smart seat belts, smart audio systems, etc. that we introduced before, and of course HUD head-up display devices for future technology, are all intelligent components for automobiles. The product, today's new technology supplies for everyone to introduce another intelligent car parts, that is, the car's rear-view mirror.



The rearview mirror of the car consists of two parts, the inner rearview mirror and the outer rearview mirror. The internal rearview mirror is generally used to view the rear vehicle conditions, road conditions, etc., while the exterior rearview mirrors located on the left and right sides of the vehicle are mainly Used to view possible road conditions when the vehicle turns and changes lanes. These intelligent rearview mirror products introduced today are implemented on the rearview mirrors in these two locations. Among them, the intelligent functions of the exterior rearview mirrors are mostly added by automobile manufacturers, and are mainly used to distinguish between the left and right rearview mirrors. The visual blind spot that can be taken care of, and the outside rearview mirror that is given the intelligent function can remind the driver of the side-rear vehicle and other road factors that may affect the driving; the inner rearview mirror is even more Multi-automotive after-market manufacturers produce more products in the process, such as driving recorder functions and navigation functions.


Intelligent rearview mirror with driving recorder function


Let's take a closer look at these smart rearview mirror products. In fact, before we introduced an article in the driving recorder, the editor has already introduced a car rearview mirror that can be used as a driving recorder. The mirror is placed on the left or right side of the rearview mirror. The car's inner rearview mirror can also view the video recorded by the driving recorder in addition to the rear view of the car. Fragment.



With this kind of driving recorder being favored by some consumers, many manufacturers in China have begun to ponder this other display screen in addition to the central control screen. Many manufacturers have released smart interior rearview mirrors. With the release of smart interior rearview mirrors, information such as navigation, weather, news, and peripheral facilities can be realized.



For example, before the well-known consumer electronics company SAST had produced a lot of such products, there are professional driving recorder manufacturers Jiedu and other brands, there are "smart rearview mirror" products introduced, but in general these Rearview mirrors are mainly driven by the functions of driving recorders, in addition to some navigation and map functions. Many companies also increase safety, navigation, entertainment and other functions in smart rearview mirror products, such as cards. Shida's trajectory driving records, and some brands of wifi hotspot functions, etc., but the utility and convenience of the auxiliary functions are yet to be verified.


Pioneer Launches Smart Rear View Mirror


A few days ago, Japan’s leading consumer electronics company Pioneer Corporation launched a self-clipping rearview mirror. Pioneer’s rearview mirror has been added to the LTE module. The LTE module is also the 4G wireless standard module that we often say. It’s actually from this year. Beginning with the more popular 4G network, this vanguard smart rearview mirror can realize part of the car networking function. The module is also equipped with gyroscopes and acceleration sensors, these sensors can provide more accurate navigation information and speed information, and this module also Can act as a Wi-Fi hotspot, providing high-speed wireless networks for passengers in the car. With the built-in LTE module, this smart mirror can be actively connected to the Pioneer Vehicle Information System data center. In addition, vehicle peripherals, traffic, weather, news, and navigation paths can also be provided in real time. All this information will be displayed in a 5-inch. On the LCD touch screen, this touchable screen is assembled on the rearview mirror.



Pioneer smart rearview mirror is equipped with a wide-angle camera for driving records, with "safe driving support" function, can automatically analyze the trajectory of the front of the vehicle, if necessary, can provide drivers with voice + image warning, with reversing image function. In addition, it can also be equipped with a rear camera mounted on the rear of the car, which can provide a function similar to a reversing radar, providing a voice warning when danger is detected.



Pioneer's smart rearview mirror can also control the whole car's information and entertainment program system through the use of hidden noise-reduction microphones. This technology was jointly developed by Pioneer and NTT Docomo. According to Pioneer, this module can achieve fleet management through GPS. This kind of fleet management model, we have seen similar functions in the previous BYD car networking experience, but the specific practicality has yet to be further researched.



Judging from these currently available information, Pioneer's smart rearview mirror is actually a reduced version of the car network, with voice control, network information provision, navigation, safe vehicle trajectory analysis, etc. The back-end data center can interact with users. These functions are the main features of the current car networking project. Pioneer's trial of this product may also represent a traditional consumer electronics manufacturer's kind of car aftermarket. Tentatively.


Nissan's upcoming smart rearview mirror


Compared to the "ambiguous" intelligent rearview mirror products introduced by these consumer electronics manufacturers, the automakers have to be more conservative in their product components. Nissan also introduced the concept of a smart rearview mirror at the beginning of the year. , But the intelligence of this concept product is mainly to better realize the initial function of the “mirror mirror”, that is to observe the road condition of the rear car. This method of realization of the function was often seen on the concept car before, that is, through Cameras to optimize and replace rearview mirrors.



Nissan's smart rearview mirrors are manufactured using special LCD screens, which are transmitted to the rearview mirror through a camera mounted on the rear windshield. In this way, the angle of the camera can be used to obstruct the road conditions behind the car without having to receive interference from the rear seat passengers and objects. At the same time, the concept product has two modes that can be controlled by a lever at the rear of the rearview mirror. The switching mirrors display the LCD screen and the traditional rearview mirror respectively. The LCD screen is used to display the influence of the rear camera. The traditional rearview mirror mode is the form of the traditional rearview mirror. Through these two modes of switching, the driver also You can slowly become familiar with the new LCD screen mode.



In addition, due to the need to display images, this smart mirror also has anti-glare function, which can prevent external bright light sources such as sunlight or headlights directly, and to a certain extent can get a better lens display effect. . However, this concept product is still in design, and the specific time to market is tentatively scheduled for early next year.


Smart exterior mirrors with blind area hints


In addition to the smart interior rearview mirrors introduced by Nissan, many car manufacturers have also optimized their smart mirrors for their exterior mirrors. Volvo, Ford, Toyota, Jaguar, and Audi all have blind spot detection systems that monitor cameras and sensors. Devices, etc. to provide drivers with blind spots to avoid parallel accidents.



The Ford Focus Blind Spot Information System BLIS can detect vehicles in the visual blind spot and warn the driver with clearly recognizable tweets or flashing signals on the exterior mirrors while the left blind spot mirror is in normal driving During the process, help drivers see vehicles, pedestrians and other objects in blind spots. The Volvo XC60 uses two cameras assembled under the rearview mirror to continuously monitor the presence of vehicles in the blind area behind the sides of the vehicle. When other vehicles are on both sides of the vehicle, the BLIS warning top will light up, prompting driving. Both sides of the situation. Toyota Camry's BSM blind spot monitoring system, through the advanced "millimeter radar blind spot detection" method, BSM system can detect the vehicle entering the mirror blind zone, and through the warning light prompts to prevent collision when the vehicle changes line.


In fact, many car manufacturers had previously added a convex lens to the rearview mirror to expand the visibility of the rearview mirror. Now, after the development of technology, this convex lens has been replaced by a more sophisticated camera or sensor device. However, as said before, the smart improvements made by car companies are based on the improvement of driving safety, mainly to enhance the realization of the functions of the original supplies, and there is no plan for entertainment and application expansion.


In the end, the editors want to talk about related issues again. Is the intelligent direction of the above-mentioned automotive products mainly based on entertainment multi-functions or the enhancement of original functions and driving safety?


From the experience of the other section of our NetEase car network, we not only experienced the car networking projects launched by car manufacturers, but also experienced a number of car networking systems produced by post-market electronics manufacturers. What is common to both is that they all have powerful entertainment functions, but the difference is that when the car is started, the entertainment items that are usually provided by car companies are automatically suspended and transferred to navigation, radio stations, and other common functions that do not affect driving. At the same time, the car network produced by the market electronics manufacturers will continue to play entertainment projects.


Nowadays, smart rearview mirrors have begun to appear similar product differentiation. After all, how intelligent the rearview mirrors will be, and where these similar auto parts intelligences will go, the editors are not shy about what they say.
