From Geek.com: You know that warning on your car’s side view mirror that says “objects may be closer than they appear”? You won’t see that on this new Mitsubishi prototype. You won’t even see mirrors on it.

That’s because Mitsubishi has ditched the mirrors and replaced them with cameras: one each on the driver’s and passengers side and another to handle rear-view duties. There’s more to the system than just cameras, of course.
As is the case with almost everything tech-related in the news these days, Mitsubishi’s mirrorless system will utilize an advanced AI to help keep drivers safe. The cameras can detect objects as far away as 100 meters, and the AI can distinguish between pedestrians and vehicles — and even figure out what kind of vehicle is approaching.

Mitsubishi says their system (which they call Maisart) offers substantially better range. Similar CMS configurations don’t start detecting objects until around the 30 meter mark. Mitsubishi also says Maisart is about 70% better at identifying those objects than the competition’s.
It was only a matter of time before automakers started showing off mirrorless designs, what with all the other cameras they had already integrated into their designs. The auto industry has been working toward an international standard for the switch from mirrors to camera monitoring systems (CMS) since 2010. European and Japanese regulators finally gave automakers the go-ahead for mirrorless cars in 2016.
So just how soon will you be able to buy a mirrorless car? Well, if you happen to live in Japan and you want a Mitsubishi, you’ll be able to drive away in one as soon as next year.
