Toyota's first "Harrier" adopted "Digital Inner Mirror" with front and rear recording function

It seems that it was technically realized at an earlier stage, but with the revision of the international standard for rearview mirrors, the security standard was revised and approved in Japan from June 2016, with the "monitoring system". It is a fairly new item that has been approved for less than 10 years. Many external products of such digital inner mirrors are already on the market. In addition to cheap models of 10,000 yen or less for online shopping, the lineup is also extensive, such as being released by leading Japanese manufacturers such as Alpine, Comtec, and Cellstar. It seems that the installation rate is likely to increase further from now on. One of the reasons why it is likely to become more widespread is that new models are increasingly being adopted as genuine equipment by manufacturers and being set as options. In addition to domestic manufacturers such as Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi, the number of models that are being adopted as options by imported car manufacturers is expanding (some models are standard equipment). This is also thanks to technological advances, but it seems that adoption is expanding because the resolution and brightness of cameras and LCD monitors have improved, making it easier to see the display in real time, and the price has become more affordable due to widespread use. .. In addition, the need for "drive recorders" is playing a role in popularization. Until now, video recording in the front was the mainstream, but recently, a two-camera type that can shoot 360 ° and also record in the rear has become mainstream, and the digital inner Mirai that can record can be a substitute for the rear drive recorder. It seems that there are many. Actually, I talked to the manager of a used car dealer in Tokyo, K, but it is said that the installation rate is increasing in car models where it is difficult to see the rear view with a normal mirror, mainly in minivans and large SUVs. .. Also, in the case of a car equipped with privacy glass, visibility at night deteriorates, so many people are considering retrofitting a digital inner mirror.
