BMW 5 Series: Panorama View
Concept
The system provides an early look at cross traffic at blind driveways and intersections.
General information
Road users concealed by obstacles to the left and right of the vehicle can only be detected relatively late from the driver's seat. The cameras in the front and rear capture the sideways traffic area to improve the view.
Yellow lines in the screen display mark the front and rear end of the vehicle.
The camera image shows different levels of distortion in some areas and is thus not suitable for distance estimations.
