Chicken ribs or "delicious"? Is the flow rearview mirror worth flushing?

What is a flow rearview mirror? It is a new type of rearview mirror. A camera and an in-car display screen are installed at the rear of the car to replace the traditional in-car optical rearview mirror. Since Cadillac was first introduced to the market, it has become an important configuration for many luxury independent brands to flaunt their scientific and technological content.

Cadillac CT6 first introduced this technology.

But this technology is also controversial: is the streaming rearview mirror a technological advancement or a chicken rib? Is it worthwhile to spend extra money on this equipment?

We understand that the traditional interior rearview mirror is just a mirror, and the visual range of different models is basically the same. The most important thing is that the optical image is the most realistic, and there will be no delay like a camera. Therefore, when most people first touch the streaming media rearview mirror, they will feel that staring at it for a short time will make them feel a little dizzy.

In the future, new technologies will improve this problem more and more, such as greatly increasing the number of playing frames. However, at present, the response speed of cameras and monitors is not perfect, which can be said to be the biggest disadvantage of streaming media rearview mirrors compared with traditional mirrors.

However, if you experience it yourself, you will find the advantages of this technology over traditional mirrors in different usage scenarios:

First, the viewing angle of the media rearview mirror is much larger than that of the traditional mirror.

The viewing angle of traditional optical mirrors is affected by the area of the rear window, especially for sports cars and coupe SUVs, and the rear view becomes very poor. The viewing angle of streaming media rearview mirror is much larger than that of ordinary mirror, which is especially advantageous when driving in narrow environments such as residential areas, parking lots and tunnels.

Also, on the expressway with a large traffic volume, you can fully grasp the situation behind by scanning the rearview mirror of streaming media. In addition, if it is easy to block the rear window when loading the SUV, if the window is equipped with streaming media, you don't have to worry about this problem at all.

Secondly, the streaming rearview mirror has the function of enhancing night vision.

The field of view is not the biggest advantage of streaming media rearview mirror, because the interior rearview mirror is not as important as the side rearview mirror when driving. On the contrary, in the case of low illumination at night, the traditional mirror can do nothing (even endure the bullying of the high beam dog behind the car), and the function of streaming media rearview mirror to improve the brightness of the environment is very useful.

Just like Huawei's mobile phone takes a night view, in the dark, when the line of sight is not good, you can also clearly see the road conditions behind you through the streamer rearview mirror. Especially in tunnels, clear images make people feel very safe.

So, which models have been equipped with streaming rearview mirrors?

Cadillac CT6/CT5/XT5/XT6

Cadillac was the earliest user of this technology. Since? After the first application, CT6 has been widely equipped on CT5, XT5, XT6 and other vehicles. Of course, it should be noted that Cadillac is generally equipped with high-profile models. For example, the 339,700 yuan 28T platinum sports edition comes standard with CT5.

Cadillac's application of this technology has matured.

Because Cadillac was first used, it has now developed into the second generation streaming media rearview mirror, with a larger viewing angle and a better effect than other brands. For example, XT5 camera is installed above the license plate, which integrates the cleaning function. According to the personal experience of Cadillac owners in the AutoLab office, the second-generation streaming rearview mirror has greatly improved the experience compared with the first generation, which is very practical.

Land Rover Aurora/Guardian

As a younger model of the Land Rover family, Aurora is equipped with technologies such as "transparent hood" and streaming rearview mirror for the first time. We don't need to say much about the guards themselves, because the buying group is not the public, but the streaming rearview mirror is very practical on the guards. Because of the model, the installation of the streaming rearview mirror is very helpful for the vision without dead ends.

Aurora streaming media rearview mirror angle is really wide.

Land Rover Aurora has integrated a wide-angle camera in the shark fin antenna on the roof, and the definition is still good. However, because the interior space of Aurora is not particularly spacious, the streaming rearview mirror is close to your head and needs to look up to see it, which is a bit unnatural.

WEY？ VV6/VV7

WEY is the champion of configuration in its own brand.

If we say which independent brand has the highest configuration, WEY says that she ranks second, and maybe no one dares to rank first. Therefore, WEY is also the first self-owned brand model to launch a streaming rearview mirror.

Don't look at the streaming rearview mirror when running on the mountain road. Slow image response can make people dizzy.

It is of great practical significance for WEY to assemble streaming media, because all their models are designed with Coupe coupe. The rear window of this coupe SUV is very small, which leads to poor rear view. The streaming media rearview mirror can play a great role.

Hongqi H9

As the "first brother" of China brand, Hongqi certainly put the latest and most scientific configuration into the car, and H9 also adopted the streaming rearview mirror, which has a very wide adjustable range. For example, it has three adjustable viewing angles, the up-and-down angle can also be adjusted, and the light and shade can also be adjusted.
