If that's a godlike perspective, God needs to go to specsavers.

..but good.

oh those japanese boffins!

presumably, one could watch this whilst driving and then crash into someone because you weren't paying attention to the road in front?

..or is it only for parking?

quite cool!

cheers,

pirate sign, because you'll be able to see if anyone tries to board you!

(mines the leather jacket...)

how many lives do I get for my two bits?

Drivers in the UK do not use mirrors, signal nor perform checks of their blind-spots when changing lanes or doing any other manoeuvre; what makes Fujitsu think they'll use this? Most drivers in the UK are too thick to even work out what lane they should be in, let alone navigate a virtual 3D image.

Can you imagine how dangerous this will make motorways with the lane-hogging, tail-gating dimwits staring at their little screen rather than looking where they are going?

If your vehcile's mirrors don't give you enough vision, this simply means you are too dumb to drive. Either because you don't know how to set them up correctly, or you were mentally deficient enough to buy a car with poor all-round vision.

Dont you just either cycle through the views by pressing either the black of white buttons or use the left thumb stick

that even with this people won't be able to park straight....

/ mines the one with the crumple zone

Make a safe car with decent visibility but is butt-ugly (anybody remember the Maestro and Metro? -like sitting in a goldfish bowl), or make a dangerous car that you can't see out of but looks sexy. Oooo... I'll take the sexy one, please, with an additional £1000 worth of electronics to slightly mitigate the problem of it being a death trap.

If that's what a God's-eye view looks like, He must have been tripping His nuts off at the time!

So, how long before the birds perfect their target practice on those cameras? They seem pretty good at getting that bit that's in your line of sight but not covered by the wipers, and I'm sure they do it on purpose!

Imagine the insurance claims: I crashed into that car in the car park because a bird had shat on my camera and I couldn't be bothered to actually look where I was going.

Can they teach it to recognise a stop sign/red light and apply the brakes? How about recognising when the lights turn green and announcing "go you idiot, it's on green. It's been green for 30 bloody seconds, get on with it." (etc)
