Twinned with GPS this could be a great way for insurance companies/police to investigate crashes.

Could also be an anti-theft device.]]>Oct 12th 2007 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/
Using it as you suggest, would only be useful if you want to know where the pot holes are on any given road are ;)]]>Oct 12th 2007 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/
I'm not knocking the idea mind you - I'm just curious as to how it looks with other cars in the scene, the demo with white lines on the floor isn't really very representative (unless your a bit anal about parking "just so" within the lines)]]>Oct 12th 2007 6:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/]]>Oct 12th 2007 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/I could certainly use that when I took the driving test, would the proctor/tester pass someone using that?]]>Oct 12th 2007 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/
Rob: I can see to many TV addicted morons staring at it, rather then looking where they are going. Also part of the problem with people changing lanes is that they do not bother to look at anything except beside them...not noticing the 18-wheeler coming up at 10 mph faster then they are going. ]]>Oct 12th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/
I know that Nissan is one of the forerunners for putting a passive breath-alyzer into their vehicles. I certainly hope that happens soon if my ponderings prove accurate.

Also, doesn't the #1 blind spot worry you a bit? I don't imagine this would be very useful for parallel parking if you have a blind spot there. It seems like that would be one of the most important spots to be able to see, more so than the sides!

Also, the demo is worthless without cones at least, so that you can see how and where they come up on the screen.]]>Oct 12th 2007 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/12/nissans-around-view-arrives-in-the-us-december/Oct 12th 2007 5:43PM
