Land Rover now put cameras on all corners of their Chelsea Tractor models for a modest optional price (ha ha). The big articulate lorries have an amazing cost and the level of engineering built into them is quite impressive so how come they don't go for a camera/glass cockpit moment.
Place a couple of cameras front-back and back-front down each side (wireless will drag the rear camera signal back) and link the indicator stalk to the iPad adjacent to line of site (closer than looking across at the opposite wing mirror before anyone complains about distractions)
You indicate
iPad lights up with real time view in split screen for cameras.
Artificial Intelligence then used to determine if you have a small low object in the danger zone and screen flashes Bright RED alternating with the image.
If you are sitting on the wrong side of the cab make it code of conduct so the smart firms take it up and then 2 years and make in mandatory. Record the red flashes for big brother accident investigation and the insurance payment might even pay for the deployment.
WiFi will do most of the work for connectivity. 24v power is not an issue with a small PSU for the cameras which are readily available in protective housing these days for home monitoring. Little bit of code monkey engineering and the roads are safer.
Graham - off you trot, mock up prototype and we can go 50:50 ?
No ?
