Would this work as depicted? Wouldn't it just be a blur?

Maybe there’s a specific size/resolution of image you could use to make it work, if you knew the exact distance? But I’d also think this wouldn’t work..
jqubed@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Taping to the camera as shown on the left would be challenging to make work at least. The cameras don’t put out light so whatever image you use would have to be on paper thin and light enough for backlighting to work. The distortion that close would also be extreme, so you’d want to keep the main part of your image in the center and small. And yeah, it’d probably be blurry, but the resolution on most of those cameras was already pretty bad up until a few years ago so you might not notice.
then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not just (or so much) the resolution, it’s what the minimum focus distance of the lens is. I’d bet that is going to be more than a couple of cm
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Create a image adapted to the distortion? I’m sure there’s software around for this.

Are rear view cameras really “fancy” these days?
yannic@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
It means your car is less than 10 years old, so… yes.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Mmmmm idk, I’ll take my old beater Civic over any new Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, or Stellantis product.
Hell, just the fact that you can’t buy a low trim Civic or Corolla with a stick shift anymore is kinda tragic.
The 90s are where cars peaked, and I will die on that hill.

Not at all. They have been required since 2018 and fairly cheap to add to older vehicles.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
2018!! Well shit. Did they even make cars that backed up prior to then?

“oh look, that car has a novelty sticker for my backup camera on it, that’s fun.” Continues on the day
Like how exactly are y’all expecting people to react to this? Y’all know you live in the real world with actual people, not Looney Tunes with a bunch of exaggerated cartoon characters, right?

It would be fun to figure out how to place a lens on it … to either bring the image closer or make it further to completely screw with the perspective
Or even a fun house mirror effect and distort the image in the center.

Didn’t stop to think this could harm pedestrians, did ya?

Need one that just says “Error.” Send them scurrying to the repair shop or something.

Idk… This could backfire and scare them into punching the accelerator in reverse, causing more damage out of fear!

Rear view cameras have been required by law for a few years now. I’m pretty sure it was a ploy by manufacturers to get a screen on every dashboard so they could sell ads.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I also hate ads, but I think it was more likely to minimize how many children old people were squashing :

jqubed@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The manufacturers were opposed to them being required. I think they claimed it would cost an extra $200-250 per car. But they sure won’t pass up on the ads if they think they can get away with it!
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Negative. They were very against the law. A guy backed over and killed his own child and made it a multi year mission to force back up cameras as a requirement. Politicians look bad if they don’t want to “save the children.”

They’re not wrong? It’s an open secret in the business world that information is the new gold. M
If something is free, you’re the product.
stickly@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They’re the manufacturers. They could just… Put a screen in anyway?
Consumers definitely want the cameras regardless of legislation. It’s one of the very few decent features added to cars recently.
UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
People in their big SUVs were running over their kids in the driveway. Similar to people in their Ford exploders that were rolling over because they didn’t check their tire pressures and the negligence of Firestone causing tires to seperate, so they now have tpms sensors.
Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Yo fuck those sensors tho. My old ass car has em and they started all dying from age, fuckers want 90 bucks each plus whatever bullshit amount for labor to replace them, so now I gotta click past a stupid warning whenever I start my car to see the digital speedometer 🙄

Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
us transportation made it a law in 2014 but effective 2018 that all vehicles made after 2018 under 10000 pounds are required to have a backup screen. so any new car made in the reletive past decade will probably have one. laws for cars are not retroactive usually.

I’ve never seen an ad on my car’s screen. My brother’s car from 2013 has a backup camera, and that car literally cannot communicate to any server that could serve ads.
If car companies wanted to put ads on screens, they wouldn’t need an excuse to put in a screen, they’d just do it. But they wouldn’t do that, because ads are a safety hazard and they’d have their pants sued off. I can’t even connect a new Bluetooth device to my car (pressing 1 button) unless the parking brake is applied. Stellantis is in hot water for their braindead attempt at “ads” in their cars, and that’s just a pop-up that shows up when the car is stopped.
Not even Google maps advertises to me when I use Android Auto, and ads are Google’s thing

It is the only new feature in cars since excluding crash safety that has made them safer
