The concept

Side View provides an early look at cross traffic at blind driveways and intersections. Road users concealed by obstacles to the left and right of the vehicle can only be detected from the driver's seat at the last minute. To improve visibility, two cameras in the front of the vehicle record the traffic situation on each side.
