BMW's bold i8 iVision Future Interaction might be hogging the limelight at CES 2016, but the German firm has also shown off its Mirrorless concept of the hybrid supercar.
Revealed alongside a host of new tech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the i8 Mirrorless looks entirely production-ready and features three wide-angled cameras mounted on the doors and rear window.
These cameras feed back to a screen that sits in place of the rear-view mirror on the centre of the windscreen. BMW says they entirely eliminate blindspots, increase aerodynamic efficiency, and are easier to use than traditional mirrors because you only adjust one thing for each driver.
The cameras are smart, too. Like normal blind-spot detection systems, the system can detect imminent hazards and display them with yellow warning icons. Parking guide lines are also placed across the screen to aid manouvers.
No production intention is confirmed for the i8 Mirrorless concept, but the tech is so developed it could, in theory, be on the road very soon.
