no more side mirriors on new cars?

I have read several articles recently that there is a move to have them removed from cars and maybe trucks as early as 2018. They wand to replace them with small rear facing cameras...

NOOOOOOO!

I am so sick of the direction auto manufacturers are going, they are trying to take all the driver out of driving..

Cars park for you they brake for you blah blah whats next? you just get in the car and read a book while the car does every thing?

Not my car... Guess I won't be buying any new cars..

I'm with you there. Rear facing cameras now have to be standard, but I haven't heard about eliminating side mirrors. I'd like as little electronic interference as possible. No power windows, seats, electronic steering either.

Also I drive a 25 year old Volvo...it's the perfect automobile.

I've seen a few concept cars that had side mirror housings with cameras in them. I love Tech and cars but somethings shouldn't be messed with...

Not sure how a rear camera would aid in lane changing.

Tesla is the one considering now but several other manufacturers are looking at it as well..

I'm curious if they would design the system to incorporate the Side images in the Rear View Mirror for a 'Panoramic' side/rear view?

from what I read just little bullet sized side mounted cameras...

and then project it on the windshield so you will not have to turn you head to change lanes. That'd be cool. This one has no rear view mirrors at all...

I would love to see that... Not in my car but would be pretty cool...

One more thing to add to the base price... and one more thing to break later on down the road. What ever happened to "keep it simple?"
