IMPROVED REARWARD VIEW

Various possibilities to improve the rearward view in passenger cars have been studied, with the aim, among others, to eliminate "dead angle." Tests have been performed with periscopes, vehicle TV, combined mirrors and mirrors with conninuously variable curvature. The later ones have been optimized to a well functioning solution.
